Rashi, on Neh 8:10

“And he said to them: Go, eat fat meats, and drink sweet wine, and send portions to them that have not prepared for themselves: because it is the holy day of the Lord, and be not sad: for the joy of the Lord is our strength.”

“to whoever has nothing prepared to a poor man who has no food prepared for himself.”
