He said Jesus preached on the importance of helping those in need.

"If you don't take care of the sick, don't feed the hungry, don't address people who are in prison, then you stand outside the kingdom of God," Mr. Clark said. "So central to Jesus' message is this idea that we are accountable for the poorest among us."

Proclaiming "Jesus the Social Worker" to whomever will listen.

"The Widow's Mite" would've been a great place to teach this lesson of required minimums.

Did He?

"You can't continuously give handouts to folks, you have to deal with the systemic problems that create the need...",

Yeah, systemic problems that may or may not have anything to do with a heroin addiction problem or the like.

Solution: Give more money to teenage employees working after school at the GAP.

He didn't need to. He talked an embarassingly lot about the moral imperative to help the poor in other contexts - as did the Old Testament.
