Just like it says. Baptists are providing huge amounts of relief work. It's what Christians do. And I'm sure a LOT of other Christians from other denominations are, as well.
…3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 5And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites.

I simply pointed out a Bible verse I found applicable. I'm honestly not very charitable but if I ever do become that way I find that scripture to be good advice.
I don't know why people are so worried about a "reputation" in front of men anyway. I found that Bible admonishment also to pass the smell test and I try to use it.
