collection-plate
Pew-passed vessel
A collection plate is a shallow dish or basket passed among worshippers during a religious service to gather monetary offerings.
The plate circulates through the pews, and congregants contribute cash or checks: She dropped a twenty in the collection plate.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for any solicitation of donations.
