[subroutine]

I suppose it depends if you are trying to help with people's wants or needs in a disaster situation. If 10 new sweatshirts and 100 used sweatshirts get airdropped into a disaster area, and all 10 new shirts get taken and 0 used shirts, then FEMA is right, cloths are not needed. However, if the cloths being new help people psychologically cope with the disaster, that's certainly a factor to consider.
