Please note:
Due to the uncertainty of specific local needs and the massive
logistical challenges at present, most relief agencies are not
accepting in-kind donations at this time or have strict limitations
and/or requests. Each agency can specify their current policy
but it seems pretty clear that live volunteers and funds are
what is needed most right now.
