religious charity
Church-based giving organization
A religious charity is an organization that provides aid or services while affiliated with a faith tradition.
These range from soup kitchens run by churches to international relief organizations like Catholic Charities or Islamic Relief.
Some focus purely on humanitarian work; others combine assistance with evangelism or religious education.
The religious charity distributed food without requiring recipients to attend services.
