Need maamarei chazal or quotes from the Torah on helping

Hi!

A friend of mine is making a Bar Mitzva and decided that as her centerpiece she will buy lots of canned foods, pile them up in a nice way in the center of the table, and write that in lieu of flowers the family decided to spend the money on food and then donate the cans to the shelter.

Next to each centerpiece of cans she wants to put a little flag with a quote from the Torah, or Maamarei Chazal on the greatness of sharing.

For example: Tzedoka Tatzil Mimaves. Can't think of others, but we're really looking for ones that deal more with caring for others, etc.

Please help. She needs about SEVENTEEN, one for each table (if stuck, we'll use a few twice, but it's nice if they're all unique).

Thanks so much!

5. R. Eliezer son of R. Jose said: All the charity and deeds of kindness which Israel perform in this world [help to promote] peace and good understanding between them and their Father in heaven (Bava batra 10a)

6. R. Simlai expounded: Torah begins with an act of kindness and ends with an act of kindness (Sotah 14a)
