He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free; the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.(Psalms 146:7-8)
The Bible teaches that we are called to care for the poor, which includes feeding the hungry. God Himself is portrayed as one who provides for the needy:
“He has filled the hungry with good things.” (Luke 1:53)
If we desire to be godly people, we must follow His example by seeking to feed the hungry.
“He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.” (Psalm 146:7)
Jesus demonstrated this compassion when He fed the 5,000 (John 6).
The next day, He taught that while physical hunger is important, humanity’s deeper need is for spiritual nourishment.
God also instructed Israel that feeding the hungry is a vital part of true religion:
“Spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed.” (Isaiah 58:10)
John the Baptist told the Jews who came to him, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same” (Luke 3:11).
Paul details the requirements a widow must meet to receive help from the church. A widow’s family bears the primary responsibility to care for her daily needs; godly, older widows without a family become the church's responsibility. (1 Timothy 5).
Stephen and the other deacons had the job of feeding the hungry in the church. In deacons. In fact, overseeing the food distribution was the task of the very first Acts 6:1). The early church made a point of distributing food every day to the needy widows in the church

James has much to say about caring for the needy in his practical epistle.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1:27)
Part of looking after orphans and widows “in their distress” surely includes ensuring they have food to eat. James later emphasizes that genuine faith must be demonstrated through action:
“Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” (James 2:15–16)
Concern Mission has a continual opportunity to feed the hungry in our needy world (Mark 14:7). In partnership with and through the generosity of our caring donors, we are called to do what we can to relieve the suffering of others. The Bible consistently directs us to use our resources to help those in need—especially our fellow believers:
“As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” (Galatians 6:10) In this spirit, we seek to extend compassion to poor and needy children who depend on our help for survival.
"I Was in Prison and You Visited Me."
I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me,(Matthew 25:36- 40)
Should we be feeding the hungry?
Yes, “as it is written, ‘He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever’”(2 Corinthians 9:9). Jesus said that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). We should give people what they need, and as we meet the physical needs we must not ignore the spiritual need for the gospel.
