Second-hand clothing can help immediately, while shortages of particular required items expose the limits of donation alone.
What is likely to happen next
Check current availability directly with local schemes and your school; stock changes quickly. Future coverage should ask whether the hard-to-source items become easier to obtain, rather than judging success only by the total volume donated.
This is a conditional editorial assessment, not a measured probability or a guaranteed outcome.
