You can’t do anything for them. The homeless problem is a black hole, among other social problems. The need is infinite.
The best thing you can do for the homeless is vote for and promote social policies that would lead to systematic change. Fight your anti-homeless shelter neighbors, anti-housing, anti-everything neighbors, for example.
Food Not Bombs is what I had been looking at, but the local-ish group seemed inactive. I just looked it up again though and they posted some updates about how they’ve been reorganizing. I feel feeding people is something positive, pretty much regardless of actual need. Everyone needs to eat. I think it’s the Sikhs that do a community kitchen, and I always thought that was very inspiring. They operate in a place with a high immigrant population and I saw in their updates a lot about supporting the unrecognized indigenous people of the area too, which seemed very cool.
