Does providing food for a brother who's feeling down count as charity?

I share a place with an older brother who's out of work and has kind of stopped trying to find any. It seems like he's lost hope, alhamdulillah. He doesn't even buy food for himself, so I've been getting groceries for him. I'm wondering, is this still considered sadaqah on my part, even though he isn't helping himself? He does eat what I bring. Just hoping Allah SWT accepts this small deed.
