I work with the local food bank with scout volunteers. What they do there is worthwhile methinks. Feeding everyone is easy compared to housing everyone: that part requires a solution that no one has yet found.

The quake wasn't just the music and the sound system. It was 72,000
people dancing and stamping and cheering along with the singer!
The homeless problem can be solved. Basically by providing affordable
housing and supporting people while they recover.
See: <https://calmatters.org/commentary/2023/02/homeless-california-housing-solution-data/>
The problem that the US has is historical. The attitude that it is not
a government concern. That it is up to people to look after themselves and
arrange their own housing, medical care, etc. Now the cost to society
of dealing with the homeless has become more than the cost of solving
the crisis.
