Go to your local Craigslist, search "please help" and help someone on there. Look for someone you think might be deserving, or really needs help, or whatever, just find someone and help them out.
If you're in a major area maybe this is less of a safe idea, I don't know. But in my area it' a quick and effective way to help someone who needs it.
A few years ago I came across a woman asking for food by accident, took her and her daughter shopping, and I've been doing this every now and then ever since. Just cleared contacted all the results on my local CL, and will be making deliveries tomorrow.
Do it for yourself, if not to help. I've never felt as rewarded, good-deed wise as when responding to a CL needs post. It's real, and in my experience most of the posts there are from truly desperate people.
Sometimes I spend a few hundred, sometimes, like tonight, I get away with spending much less. Tonight for example I found posts needing baby toys (tons in storage to give), clothes (bunch no one wears), blankets and a heater (extra space heater and plenty of bedding), and some older kids in need of something for christmas (we got the Wii U this summer so I am handing over our old wii).
So no matter how much you have to spare, there is probably someone you can help. Do it, it's rewarding.
