food drive
Canned goods collection
A food drive is an organized effort to collect donated food for distribution to people in need.
Churches, schools, and community organizations typically sponsor food drives, especially around holidays: The office is doing a food drive for the local shelter.
Participants bring canned goods and nonperishables to a central collection point.
