Humanitarian aid in 2011 was $88 million.
This came from additional cash donations to the Church from members and includes a calculation for the value of material donations and time donations.

Typically, several thousand dollars per ward per month at least to aid ward members in financial need. That's direct money in the form of checks. There is also food and other items the storehouse.

Also:
Some BYU students could not afford tuition if not subsidized. They would have to attend a state run college for the same price.
The temples are warm and if you can't afford shelter in the winter months, just hunker down in an endowment session.
If you can't afford to buy friends at the local pub, just attend church on Sunday, free of charge.
There are other ways for the church to provide non-monitory donations. Don't forget about those.
