Plenty of blankets, sleeping bags, tarps and clothing is currently available on the river's edge and caught on snags in the river. This would be one way the friends of homelessness could close the loop: reclaim the items they already gave out. 

I must say I am shocked, just shocked that the friends of homelessness can't rally the many supporters they claim to have to spend the night with the very people they assure us are so wonderful. How could they run out of volunteers? They seem like such a nice group of people to do things with what with all their virtue signaling and condemnation of anyone whose opinion of what should be done differs from their own.
