A lot of charities have serious problems building and maintaining websites, and will be very grateful for any help you can offer. I would recommend reaching out to them directly about this, since they often don't even know who to ask. In my experience with a few charities whose websites I've been brought in to rescue, they're often left in disarray after they hired a well meaning but inexperienced developer who they were introduced to through personal connections. This works well initially, but becomes costly to maintain - both in terms of financial cost and managerial time spent overseeing the project. If you can commit to either a monthly check-in to keep the website fresh, or to helping them build a more sustainable workflow so that they can easily update their own content, that could have a huge ROI for them in terms of fundraising, finding volunteers, and, perhaps most importantly, reaching the people who need their help. As it relates to homelessness, many homeless people have access to the internet via a mobile device or library. For these people, an intuitive website can be the best way to connect with charities and receive their aid. Many charities still don't have responsive sites, so they're essentially cut off from reaching the mobile population. I think the ROI on that alone would be a great place to start.
