The intention to help feed people because they are hungry and in need, and this moves you to service, IS service to others polarizing. Going to a soup kitchen with the intentions of appearing to be compassionate and charitable, even though you are technically serving them, would be polarizing along the service to self pole.
Is it STS to pray to want to be more compassionate when you serve others? Like let's say you serve at a soup kitchen, but don't really feel it. But you really want to. Could you work on feeling it?
