What Church Do You Go To?
The majority of people who come to our church door for food or money to pay the electric bill aren't members of our church, although I know our preacher and deacons do try to council them. And those homeless people who spend the night out of the elements in the church sponsored "Room at the Inn" don't belong to any congregation. If your church only helps their own parishioners then I agree, they are not helping the community AND they are not doing the will of the biblical God or even what Buddah taught. But when someone asks our church to help a co-worker or pray for a friend, I don't ask which church they belong to, I just do it.

Good for you
But you must admit that there are churches who refuse to help gays , atheists , Muslims , Jews, pagans, etc. that don't subscribe to their brand of theism.
As an example, yesterday Catholic Charities announced that they would abandon contracts to provide homeless and health care services in Washington, if DC legalizes same-sex marriage .
