If God had meant for His believers to ignore or disdain the poor, the helpless and the elderly, He would not have included over 300 verses in His Word (the Bible) about taking care of the poor, helpless and elderly.
God clearly wants His followers to have a heart for "the least of these," and that means not only saying a prayer once in a while, but being proactive to help them. You can give: give of your older clothing to a clothes closet, give food to a food bank or directly to a needy person, give of your time, your compassion. Give your smile and give a handshake that bestows dignity.
Remember that what God has given you, He has only given you in trust- so that you may use it to do His will and work here on earth. We labor not for an earthly prize, but to store up treasure in the Kingdom of Heaven. By being kind and loving to the weakest among us, you show God's love to them, and you show your love and obedience to God above.
