Neediness is a social sin in our society, treated as if it was leprosy. But Christians are supposed to give sacrificially to those in need. 

Taxpayer-funded programs to help the needy would be much less needed if we all gave Christian love and care to the ones God has given us to love in our daily lives.

And shouldn't we be doing whatever we can to make sure nobody feels left out? Perhaps we should give sacrificially of our time and concern and friendship too?
