Looking to give Sadaqah directly here in Berlin - any suggestions?

As-salamu alaykum everyone. I really want to give Sadaqah and help people out, but I'm not sure where to begin. I don't know many people around here, and I'd prefer to give directly to those in need instead of just putting money in a donation box at the masjid. I was thinking maybe I could give supermarket vouchers to students, but then I worry-what if they just sell them? I have this hope that the Sadaqah makes a real difference in someone's daily life, not just given out randomly. Does anyone have any good ideas or know trustworthy ways I can do this? JazakAllah khair in advance for your advice.

Maybe volunteer at a local soup kitchen first? You'll meet people you can help directly. It's more personal than vouchers.

I love this intention! Maybe buy grocery bags and hand them out near student dorms? Less chance of resale.

Check with the Islamic center, they often know families in urgent need. You can give anonymously through them.

There are some verified orgs that distribute aid packages to refugees. That way it's direct but still accountable.

Tough one. Even vouchers can be a blessing, don't overthink it. Their rizq is from Allah.

Buy warm blankets and socks now, winter is coming. Give them to homeless shelters. Makes a huge difference.
