Right understanding of Dāna

I'd like to understand the Buddhist view of Dāna better. I've read the [Vaccha Sutta] [1] and it seems to say that gifts are best given to the most worthy. By comparison, in Christianity, the idea seems to be that one should do "for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine" [source] [2] Am I understanding correctly that the Buddhist view and Christian view of giving are very different? Is there a general concern for the (unworthy) poor in Buddhism? Thank you for helping me to understand this.
