Help someone with rent. Bring some food to a neighbor. Donate to food banks and shelters.
IMO you’re thinking too small to try to “impact” as many people as possible - impact just 1 person and the world gets better. If you spread it out such that there is no signal left (contributing a grain of rice per person) then it prevents larger forces from self correcting. You can make a huge impact on the entire world by individual level kindness, because that person you impacted will go on to impact others for 50 some years.

I read a story recently, which to be honest sounded fake, but it involved a guy donating a book to the children's hospital once every week.
That helped one person, chosen at random, in a way that is simple to repeat and scale.
