A better solution is to ask the shelter to specify their needs and then determine what to send based on their requests. Simply sending items without understanding their current inventory may not be beneficial.

The most effective approach to achieve your goal would likely be to send all donations to the shelter that has the least supplies. As the coordinator of a nonprofit distributing items to three local homeless shelters, determining which shelter needs the most and sending donations there is the most logical solution.
