I've definitely had experiences with both. I've seen churches that used the money to feed the poor. I've also been to churches who said you would "suffer" if you didn't tithe at least 10% of your paycheck and that never did any kind of community outreach - they would just spend the money on expansions for the church building and bonuses for the pastor.

So it's definitely a mixed bag

not to mention the food for the poor, the stuff for clean water etc... are all just loss leaders. The goal is to proselytize. either directly to the poor... or, more likely, to brag about how good they are. usually both.
