In the department of "doesn't actually address the roots of the problem, but might make some people's lives more possible in the short term", today is a great day to donate to a food bank (because WIC is affected) and/or veterans' services (because the VA is affected). Donating to a national park, when the National Park Service's website is back up (it's down now because of the shutdown) would also be a good idea.
Links are to RI institutions because that's where I am (and where I donated), but searching for "[your state] food bank" or "[your state] veterans' services" should get you there.
