toy drives
Charitable gift collections
Toy drives are organized collection efforts to gather new toys for distribution to children in need, typically during the holiday season.
Churches, workplaces, and community organizations run toy drives, setting up donation boxes and coordinating with charities: The fire department is sponsoring a toy drive for underprivileged kids.
The phrase follows the pattern of other charitable collection campaigns like food drives and blood drives.
