There is a local in need group on Facebook, where people needing food, money, or household things post. There are often people asking for money for electricity, I have collected their key and put money on or transferred money to them.
I would assume the majority are genuine as their profile is there for all to see and someone who knows them would out them if it was a scam.
The saddest ones are when asking for food, usually stating that anything will do until the food bank is open.
