Bob, who for years has been helping families pay rent and buy food, should be supported in their attempts to make society juster and fairer. You can also always donate to the larger organisations such as St Vincent de Paul and Anglicare too, which have a great track record on this type of steady support. This is a challenge to those people who love jumping in when there is conflict and controversy and media exposure, often as a pretext to express their own anger and prejudice. Jesus said, "if you love me, keep my commandments" so I would say, if you really love and support Fr. Bob, do as he does, in whatever way suits your own choice...including NOT whinging about paying taxes, which is how the state tries to do its bit to make society more equitable! No doubt someone will now call me sanctimonious but hey I'm comfortable with that!
