charity drive
Organized giving effort
A charity drive is an organized effort to collect donations—money, food, clothing, or other goods—for a charitable cause.
The drive implies a concentrated campaign with a beginning and end: The office is doing a charity drive for the food bank.
Schools, workplaces, and community groups commonly organize charity drives around holidays or in response to disasters.
