to promote the general welfare is to contribute to the happiness and well-being of all the people. examples of that would be social security and food and drug laws.
provide welfare to those who can not afford it
This expression in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, most definitely does NOT mean "provide public assistance" as the statement above suggests. "Welfare" did not have such a meaning yet! What WE call "welfare programs" were at that time called "poor relief". Until the 20th century such relief was largely the work of churches, private charities & local (and sometimes state) governments, NOT the federal government. So 'welfare programs' at the federal level would not even have been imagined by the founders.
"Welfare" referred to "well-being", and promoting the GENERAL welfare was a broad term in use at the time (we find in the Articles of Confederation & various other earlier colonial documents) to refer to the 'public good', or the well-being of ALL, as opposed to looking out for just the good of specific states, locales or classes of people.
Things like making laws, regulating commerce, educating the people etc...
