offering basket
Church contribution container
An offering basket is a container passed among congregants during religious services to collect monetary donations.
The basket—sometimes a plate, bag, or similar vessel—circulates through the pews while worshippers contribute cash or envelopes: She dropped a twenty in the offering basket.
The practice is central to how many churches fund their operations.
