If you’re down on your luck, participation in an organization willing to support you is not voluntary. Right now, if you need help in America, your options are either the government or faith-based organizations.

I know from experience, I’m just getting back on my feet after my own run of bad luck.

I’m not in love with the government by any means. It is inefficient and incentivizes corruption. If all the money that moved through faith-based organizations instead moved through secular organizations, I would be interested in “small government” reforms.
