Definition
接济 means to give material or financial help to someone in need, often on a regular or personal basis (e.g., supporting a poor student). It differs from 救济 (emergency relief for disaster victims) and 援助 (formal/official aid, like foreign aid). 协助 is broader, meaning 'to assist' in any way, not necessarily with money or goods.
