Makes sense, for disaster response and logistics at scale. On a small and local scale, such as for refugees who're being helped getting settled in your city, reportedly sometimes clothing donations is what they want. A few/several years ago, someone (who I knew to be genuine, and especially savvy about societal issues) asked for clothing donations, for a refugee support group. They had specs for kinds and sizes they needed. So I asked the person if the people wouldn't rather have money donations, so they could go to the stores in town, and buy whatever clothes best met their needs and preferences. But there was some problem, maybe the logistics of getting them to the stores(?), and they really did want clothing donations. The helpers seemed to be serious about it, and followed through. I happened to have some new ordinary clothes that didn't fit me well, and the helpers even came and picked up them up.
