The Mormons do this. A [EDIT: anyone, not just a member] ~church member~ will go to the bishop (a volunteer-filled calling) and tell them their situation. Then the bishop will provide what they need.

I'm pretty sure the assistance is not conditional, but the bishop will exercise discretion and help guide the recipient towards self-reliance.
