I’ve helped prepare meals for the homeless and we ate with them (even though most of the food was stuff the farmers and stores threw out as they couldn’t sell). One of the places that served daily meals also had some of the homeless willing to volunteer as it not only combated boredom and kept them out of sight of the police who would otherwise hassle them, but got them extra (and the best) food and often other minor benefits as well.
