Your group can decide to make a donation this family. One option would be to take up a collection from the members rather than take it directly from the PTO bank account. Here's why: Group members may have different opinions on how the PTO funds should be used. Some might say that charitable donations are not part of the PTO mission of suppporting the children's educational environment. It might make sense to try taking up a collection and then seeing if your group wants to set up guidelines for charitable giving in the future. Good luck and sorry to hear about those families falling on hard times.
