(Talmud) Baba Batra, page 8a

If a person resides in a town for thirty days, that person is responsible for continuing the soup kitchen; After three months, that person is responsible to the charity box; After six months, to the clothing fund; After nine months, to the burial fund; And after twelve months, that person is responsible for contributing to the repair of the town walls.

Thank you to the Jewish Outreach Partnership (www.jopp.org) for this quotation.
