Yes, because funds are often earmarked, and it is the smaller organizations on the ground that are able to meet the needs of the people in their communities. It's the same reason that food pantries and organizations like Meals on Wheels are important despite the existence of SNAP and Social Security. Those organizations work directly with communities at a low-level to meet the needs that aren't met by high-level programs and funding.
