Feed children, elderly, brahmanas, the hungry and then oneself

It is the duty of a householder to feed first of all the children, the old members of the family, the brahmanas and the invalids. Besides that, an ideal householder is required to thrice call for any unknown hungry man to come and dine before he himself goes to take his meals.

(SB 1.14.43 - Purport)
