The Chaos of Charitable Donations
 
A very interesting perspective explaining why money is the best donation. From a TED talk article and video.

Dale Herzog is a logistics and supply chain engineer at the UPS Foundation. He held many operational and industrial engineering positions throughout a 41-year career at UPS. He worked in the humanitarian sector for his last 11 years there, helping improve processes and data visibility for NGOs (non-government organizations) worldwide. He lives in Louisiana.

After a disaster, don’t send teddy bears or clothing — send money. |
