You keep making the case for the actual solution -
religious institutions and ngo’s should be the sole providers of charity, and their source of funds should be 100% voluntary.
When contributors see abuse, they donate to other charities, causing all the charities to have to compete, and therefore be as efficient and effective as possible.

Thanks, I can only TRY!
The problem I see is that too many believe it IS the responsibility of GOVERNMENT to take care of people. Families turn their back on family members. Many churches are just too eager to collect some government money and have people dependent on THEM for all the wrong reasons. This is not what churches are supposed to be doing .... if congregants don't throw money at these causes ... then maybe the church needs to rethink what business they are in.
What I also see is people simply want to spend LESS of their money on it and hiding behind nutrition - as if that will matter. LOL! They'll just cash in their food stamps for CASH as they often do and buy what they really want. There are tons of check cashing services around to do just that. Sure they take a percentage but those wanting the CASH, go along with it.
These programs DESTROY the family an d make others cynical of churches that use government money to enhance themselves. If a church doesn't practice what they preach through their own efforts - they are worthless in what they claim to be trying to accomplish and their lack of congregational funding proves my point. It should be handled by FAMILY or by their church as it had been in the past.
If handled properly, their physical needs can be met and their spiritual needs. Heart need to be changed to being a productive citizen with dignity again. For those that don't want this, they'll either leave or wind up in prison at some point. Stiffer punishment would also help to make that less advantageous.
