Assalaamu Alaikum
Warning!my own oppinionI am not very knowledgable in this issues, but I would rather give the money to the person instead of the Masjid. It's them who are asking for, it's just my mere thought. InshaAllah a more knowledgable person can answer that in the light of quran and sunnah.(sorry if you were not looking for opinions)
Allah hafiz now and always
May Allah reward for what you are doing.Ameen
