Should the church, the Body of Christ, take care of the sluggard?

Pro 6:6 KJV - Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Pro 6:9 KJV - How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Pro 13:4 KJV - The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Pro 15:19 KJV - The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.

Pro 20:4 KJV - The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing.

Pro 21:25 KJV - The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

Pro 26:14 KJV - [As] the door turneth upon his hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed.

While the characteristics of the sluggard are easily identified, how to change their behavior is not.

I have read articles about the sluggard, but none written by the sluggard.

What, if any, is the responsibility of God's people to meat the sluggard's physical needs?
