[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]i am a church going Christian. But I have done the analysis of a number of church budgets. About 5% of a church's donations goes to the poor or disadvantaged.[/quote]

If you are referring to my somewhat lengthy post - please note that I listed the work of the church that does not come from the offering plate.  Many of the philanthropic deeds in a church are done by its congregants outside of the tithing or weekly offering.  And, it would be difficult to place a value on the TIME that church members spend doing these things.  [/quote]

Are non-members welcome to help? [/quote]

Absolutely.  My church, like most churches, encourage anyone to donate items, time, or services to help in their efforts to assist the community.  The planned initiatives are published online, advertised on signs outside the church, and advertised in other ways.  
I don’t know about other churches, but our church doesn’t very often get help from those outside the congregation, except for maybe some of the preschool parents who are not members.  [/quote]
