How do i best start a non-profit, ongoing community project or charity.?

Looking for information and guidance around starting a non-profit, or ongoing community project within the community. My goal is to make life safer for those wandering the streets at night or low visibility and give drivers a better view of said people. VISibity is safety. For a little background on this, I've been working night shift for the last 5 years as a construction worker, so this includes driving to and from work in the dark. Every day i would see people in super dark colors or wearing black just walking the side of the highway, or cutting across streets. I've had many scares with nearly hitting folks I had the Idea of giving out Hi-Vis wear .i looked into local organizations and no one was doing anything quite similar. I'm Mostly vests but jackets and such too when i can afford it. Work often gave me extras and what I couldn't find i would look through thrift stores. Talking with homeless people as I give them so simple and how thankful they are, some have been hit many times by cars, something that could be so easily ( hopefully ) prevented. The nice part of about vests and wear like this is that there is no electrical components, they often provide pockets and can be worn in every weather scenario making them ideal for those who may not have great storage I've always wanted to take the next step to expand a bit, look for help with acquiring more visibility wear and help the community as much as I can but I really don't know where to start. Should I contact companies asking for used wear ? Should I establish a website or a page of sorts to show I am legitimate. Should I keep this as a ongoing project or move towards something more. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
