As others have pointed out - basic supplies are in desperate need and the response agencies have specific needs lists. It's best to follow them.
In the spring of 2020, when tornadoes hit the Nashville area, there was actually a notice from one of the response groups that items not on their list, such as quilts, can end up in the landfill since the immediate need is for basic supplies and the agencies do not have ability to store and distribute items that aren't on the request list. The qualification statement was "if not requested", meaning if the agency hasn't specifically asked for them, they often cannot take and distribute them.
