It's very possible that you're right. Maybe that's
why I havn't seen a donations box in the chuch
vestibule.

Generally it's more of a hassle to collect and distribute such stuff
than it's worth to the major organizations in relief efforts. It takes
a lot of manpower and logistics to deal with stuff like that so despite
the good intents it really doesn't help.

About the only way one can do anything w/ such goods is to be able to do
it on an individual and/or small independent effort--and again, that's
tough owing to the logistics of there being none in the areas and
sending in trucks, etc., just get hung up in the general congestion
already there that they're fighting.

It's why cash really is king...
