Supplies from above
A food drop is a delivery of food supplies, typically by aircraft to a remote or disaster-stricken area: The humanitarian organization coordinated food drops to flood victims.
The term also appears in video games for items that restore health or energy when collected.
In casual use, it can mean any food delivery: We're doing a food drop at my sister's place on the way.
