Help ! My little fundraising is going too well !

I'm facing an interesting problem : with a friend I've decided to help these people so i started a little fundraiser (content in french).

They are Afghan refugees squatting in a catholic church in the heart of Brussels (Belgium).

What I wanted to do : raise enough money to raid a supermarket, buy canned goods, give them to the refugees, go home with the mission accomplished feeling.

We aimed for 200 euros, we are now close to ten times that.

Is there any online ressource out there on the best way to prioritize charity spendings ? These people have no toilets (imagine living without one for 24 hours...) so I'm thinking of renting a mobile toilet for them but there may be better priorities I've not identified yet.

If you are facing a larger chunk of money, and wish to spend it on these individuals the first thing to do is to find a way to ask what they need.

They may care less about toilets and more about blankets. They may need infant formula. You won't know unless you ask.
