Seeing as how a good bit of most "poverty" is created by government action, onerous regulation, and other abuses of power, I'd rephrase my question. What you might ask is , "What can I do to help alleviate poverty in San Francisco" - and the answer would no doubt have something to do with education, job opportunities, lower taxes, and so on. Looking to any government agency, big or small, to alleviate social problems is a mistake. They're not in the business of fixing the 'problem' - they're in the business of 'maintaining' the problem, to ensure a larger and larger budget each year. If they can't find enough 'poor' people, they widen the definition to include a larger population base. America is the only country in the world were the average "poor" person is also 10% overweight.

Why government spending during the depression increased?

Unemployment was so high and the basic economy unable to provide jobs, the government, through President Franklin D. Roosevelt, used the power of the federal government to create jobs. This was done by creation of several government agencies, like the Civilian Conservation Corps, which would perform work normally done by private business not governments. These agencies now had federal employees doing essentially privat sector work; but it enlarged the federal government greatly and extended its influence into areas government had never been before.
