Sell them and use the money to buy some survival gear. If you want to, help the really needy with some of it. The nice donated clothes often get taken home by the people who distribute them.

So much money has been poured into this now, some from me, that it's time to sit back and see what they do with it and save some for another crisis that people won't be so open-hearted and generous about.

I'm not sure I should reply to your post...but I will take a deep breath and try...

There are no people available to distribute clothes. Boxes are opened, put into a bin or dumped onto a table, and the hurricane survivors take what is there when they get there. Children are wearing adult clothes.
