Our PTA group adopts families every year through the food bank (who hosts the exchange). Each family that wants help for Christmas is asked to fill out a very detailed list of what toys their child enjoys along with sizes for clothes. Last year, another PTA member and I were in charge of shopping for a family. We were given a budget of $1000...so to make things interesting and challenging for us, we asked to adopt two families. We adopted two of the larger families on the list. Both families had five children. It was a great thing to spend $500 on five children and two parents from each family. We bought an assortment of clothes (one outfit for each in the family), toys, books, family board games and a "family movie night package". I thought we provided a great assortment with everything.
I am sorry that the toys are the only thing budgeted for with $100. because you sure can get alot for that. I would bring it up to the board. Maybe change is in order.
