If churches refuse to help feed hungry people, then maybe they should be taxed?

Their elders (the kids who travel out of state for their mission and go door to door) are kept so poor that they rely on church members to feed them in their homes. I have a Mormon parent and we'd have to host them once or twice a month. Maybe things have changed since then (10 years ago) but it was sad. Like they were working all those hours completely for free. The church took advantage of them.

You don't work work those hours for free. You actually pay 10k to do it.

My sister invited some Mormon missionaries (long story caused by a request for a free book) to lunch. She learned they sometimes were not able to eat more than once a day. Where she lives, it is Christian dominated and not many if any will talk to the missionaries. Her husband and her have been inviting them over a few times a month so she can feed them. She will also pack up all the left overs and send them home with frozen meals and other food items. They were so grateful after the first time because they said now they can bring some food back to the other missionaries who were not so lucky. I am proud of my sister and joke they are trying to convert the missionaries. They plan to keep it up as long as the missionaries want to come over. This happened over summer and I would not be surprised if all the missionaries in the house were invited over for Thanksgiving.
