The best thing you can do is donate to food banks. Either with actual donations of food or money donations.
It's actually a good idea to give food banks money because they get no end of cookies but no fruit or vegetable.
I volunteered a food bank occasionally and we have enough pasta to survive the apocalypse. And every week people bring us even more bloody pasta. We could probably give it people to build as a shelter for themselves and still have more than we knew what to do with.
Also we have 40 bags of kale. Which I don't think anyone wants to eat even if they are starving.
Not to mention money to the homeless is subject to sales tax. Your dollar goes farther in non-profits.
I’ve never heard of a drug dealer charging sales tax
Missing out on profits. Extra 5-10% on top in "sales tax" is the greatest marketing a dealer could ask for.
Smart dealers know they can shake the police of their back, but the IRS? Hell no, once they're after you - game over.
I'll eat the kale.
