| | collecte d'aliments | Explanation:
Selon Le grand dictionnaire terminologique:
Domaine(s) : - political and social economics
anglais: food drive
français: collecte d'aliments n. f.
[Office de la langue française, 1996]
"Food drive" is used whether it involves transportation or not. It simply means "to collect food"... whether people drop off the food or the food is picked up.
The meaning of "drive" here is:
a united effort, esp. directed towards a common goal
example: a charity drive
It has nothing to do with the act of "driving" (a bus or car).
