There's no conflict here. Hand outs are when the government gives money to undeserving people. Giving money to people and organizations of your choice is encouraged and laudable. Which sounds sensible on the surface.

And this is why governments have to provide the social safety net, no one is excluded and the rules aren't bendy.
