After the conjunction "as"

1. Helping them with provisions will be good as will giving them direct financial help.
2. Helping them with provisions can help them much as can giving them direct financial help.
I think the following versions with the subjects after the conjunction "as" are much more common and correct, too." Also, should we put the word "can" in example sentence 2? Thank you in advance for your help.
1. Helping them with provisions will be good as giving them direct financial help.
2. Helping them with provisions can help them much as giving them direct financial help (can?).

Thank you very much. The same goes to Aspara Gus. Please help me with this, too. I think it would be good,
