Religion and charity

Alms giving is the third pillar of Islam; so how do other religions approach charity? This is open to any faith, from Hinduism to Wicca, (and Scientology....I guess)

catholics/christians approach charity by telling starving africans not to where condoms, because its a sin against god.

Christianity claims to give out money to the poor, while in reality it just collects it from the church members.
