I commend you for your charity but make no mistake there are plenty of ways of helping the less fortunate without using a donation plate at a church. I can honestly say 100% of the money,housing and time I've donated to the less fortunate has gone to the people who need it not a tax free church who mostly feed their leader in riches.
