Not necessarily. The relevant part in the text reads

>> [...] טעונין בר ולחם ומזון ויין להחזיק יד עני ואביון ולכל איש אשר יחסר לו [...]

לְהַחֲזִיק literally means "to hold", though in some contexts (especially in older texts like this) it also means "to maintain" or "to support". While it's close to לְחַזֵּק, which means "to strengthen", להחזיק isn't usually used in that meaning (apart from lyrical contexts, perhaps).
