What a lovely plan! One problem may be is that those who could benefit most, may not have the land available. Assuming most of them rent, or live in multiple unit buildings, growing their own vegetables may not be feasible or even possible.
Rather than giving each plants they'll need to find a place to grow before even learning how, perhaps look into finding some land (ask churches, your town, local business) if there's some land they will allow you to use to set up a community garden for those in need? Then set the expectation that anyone wanting produce from the garden invest some amount of time planting, weeding, pruning, and harvesting? This might feel less like charity and could help build relationships among community members.
Best of luck with your efforts!
