Q:
What does “paint the town beige” in 169 mean?
A:
This is a joke or maybe poetry. It is certainly a metaphor.
"paint the town red" = "go out at night and have a lot of fun, going to bars and generally making noise or mischief, having a lot of excitement"
Red is a bright and loud color. Beige is a softer and quieter color. It is more boring. So "paint the town beige" = "go out at night, but don't do anything interesting". Beige is a neutral color, so it can also mean "go out at night, doing only the same thing that we usually do when we go out, and nothing special."

Q:
In our town, there are several shelters where homeless children live, and those kids require the essentials including shoes, clothes and foods to survive the winter. Today we got some clothes to give them at Target. I hope they have a peaceful winter. Does this sound natural?
A:
Totally natural!
You could change "Today we got some clothes to give them at Target." to "Today we got some clothes at Target to give to them." The way you phrased it sounds slightly like you're giving them the clothes at Target, rather than you got the clothes at Target.
"I hope they have a peaceful winter" is a bit strong, it just feels like being a homeless child is the opposite of peaceful. "I hope they can have a safe and warm winter" or something like that might be more common. However, "peaceful" would still be interpreted as kind and sincere, there's no problem with it.
