This fact is why this is the second year in a row I’m leading a sock roll service project for my son’s Cub Scout pack. I have the boys roll up a pair of socks with a pack of peanut butter crackers and a granola bar (secured with rubber bands). We then donate them to a homeless outreach program.
If you can swing it for about $60 you can get 60 pairs of socks on Amazon. If you have an extra $25 or so, you can get about 20 pairs of socks. Bonus points if you use smile.amazon.com and have your purchases benefit a local homeless shelter.

Yup, feet are important.
Keep some new socks in your car and hand them out to people who are really homeless; not just the guys with the signs.
Also, never throw away a comforter or jacket. Keep them in your trunk in the winter months in case you see someone who is freezing out in the street.

ETA: we make 120 sock rolls
