What the person did by taking the association's money is Haram (forbidden) and a betrayal of trust. He must repent to Allah and return the full amount to the association, even if indirectly, such as donating it to them. The fact that the person is in debt or needy does not permit him to betray trust or take the association's money unlawfully.
