I'm usually kinda "ehhhhhh" on religious charities, but the local New Hope Ministries is straight legit, they don't do much preaching but they do a whole lot of helping, both running the food bank and helping people find jobs, rent support, all sorts of stuff. I always run our fall and spring donation drives for the Cub Scouts, so I've gotten to know their folks pretty well. They're genuinely good people. Tossed 'em $25 and hopefully we'll pull in at least a half ton of food and sundries+ a couple hundred in cash with the upcoming drive. Side note: I was the one who started listing "Feminine Hygiene products" on our "Wish list" we'd hand out to shoppers, and it turned out to be the breaking point that convinced the folks who do their monthly "needs" list to start putting that on their list. Apparently in the past someone/some people had decided that people would find it "icky" or something, but when it was reported up that the Cub Scouts were asking for tampons/pads/etc, and got a helluva good response, they decided to start openly requesting them. Seriously, donate feminine hygiene stuff. And diapers/wipes. Food banks NEVER have enough of these things.
