Or was it more to do with feeding the poor through your own means, or clothing the homeless in your own clothes?
Direct Charity, as opposed to Indirect Charity.
The act of giving charity in the form of currency – was this the original intention?

The act of Charity is to help others that are in need . I for one will buy the meal for a drunkard .But give a family money for the Children cloths and food . Cash donations are as well delivered through a Rabbi, Priest ,Minister , or soup kitchen .

All three forms are good. I personally would rather take a street beggar to lunch than give him cash, because that way I know he gets fed. This opinion is coloured by my own time on the streets.
