The Israelites were commanded to give a tithe to the poor and a separate tithe to the Levites. The Levites were allotted no portion of the land itself, so they partook of the tithe that was given (Numbers ch.18). They served as Torah-scholars (Deuteronomy ch.33) and assisted in the Temple (but did not offer up the sacrifices, which was done only by the kohanim). The newborn of flocks were also tithed (Leviticus ch.27). Today, in the absence of the Holy Temple, Jews tithe their income for the poor.

WhenPeople voluntarily give one-tenth of their money to a church or charitable?

The giving of one tenth (This is called a Tithe) of ones earnings back to the Lord is to help build up the Kingdom of God, to feed the hungry and to give help to all those in need. Abraham paid tithes to Mechizadeck, who was the great High Priest at that time. This tithe was not kept by Mechizadek but was used as the Lord saw fit. It is my own testimony that whoever pays a tithe will in no way suffer but will have all that is required for them to live comfortable lives. It is not difficult to pay one dollar out of ten, the hard part is to be able to willingly part with one hundred dollars from one thousand.
