I haven't personally heard that. My understanding is that it's such a mess that even the airport is crowded with planes because there isn't enough fuel to fly them back out.
What I'm hearing from everyone is to donate money to established organizations that have a clear action plan. However, I am aware that some organizations are accepting things like medical supplies.
Of course, there are organizations that ARE taking donations of all kinds, but there's the matter of actually getting the items out of the United States.
