    I dunno about other churches but I’m pretty sure the one I grew up in gave away donated food. Paying taxes wouldn’t impact that at all.

        You’ll be furious to know that the workers are almost entirely volunteers as well. The cost to the church directly is negligible. And I’m still sure whatever other charitable work they do would not be significantly impacted by paying taxes. If anything, the money generated could do infinitely more good in expanding welfare programs. Charity is a band aid, not a solution.
