DEUT757 The Torah commands us to give a poor person "sufficient for his needs" [this verse]. Jewish law understands this to mean that we should try to provide precisely what that person lacks: "If he is hungry, he should be fed. If he needs clothes, he should be provided with clothes. If he has no household furniture or utensils, furniture and utensils should be provided… if he needs to be spoon-fed, then we must spoon-feed him" (Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh Deah 250:1).
