Of course, not all of them do this, but the fact that this organization strives to take these people to the next step is the reason why my family contributes our time to helping them out. If all they did was hand out food, then let them go, I would applaud their efforts, but would not donate my time there. All you are doing is promoting a crutch instead of potentially lending a hand.
the expression used to be:

give a man a fish, he'll for a day...

Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime...



Liberals prefer:

Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime...
Give a man a fish, he will vote Democrat the rest of his life
