Yes, sometimes the local nonprofits doing real legwork are both needy and very cost effective, not top heavy with admin.

We worked longterm with a meal site that could do hundreds of hot meals/month, for the poor and working poor, on a shoestring budget. Some quarters, they couldn’t project funds out 6 months. Only the cook was paid (and that was little.) It served a need when the bigger places in town were closed. There are others out there, to be discovered, that fly very low under the national or international ratings.

It helps to know what smaller entities actually do, that you endorse that. But you have to decide how much you can do (or donate,) as an individual.
