The people I’m seeking to help are senior citizens, and familes with limited incomes.

There is already help in many communities for people like that.
For food there are food-banks. Many of my elderly neighbors go to one in our community.
For clothing there is the Salvation Army Thrift Store. It’s less expensive than Goodwill. And they actually help people (give them free stuff) who qualify because of low income. The Salvation Army will also help with Christmas gifts. (for free).
And then there is of course the Government Assistance program, which will help people with Food Stamps and/or Cash. In my state they have to work at least 25 hours a week, if they can. If they cannot because of some disability, the government will still help them.
All those people need to do is go look for and where needed apply for the help that is available.
Maybe you could help them do that.
They can go to the Library and use computers there (If they don’t have any other access to a computer) to apply online for gov’t assistance, as well.

   you might try offering to pick up yard sale left overs. People a lot of times are just looking to get rid of the stuff, and if you let them know that you are going to use it for a charitable purpose, they may be more likely to just let you have it.
