  -> Gracias, Carmen! :D
disagree  JaneTranslates: Sorry to go against the flow, but I think "donaciones" would imply giving, primarily, money. A gift drive specifically asks for gifts--presents, regalos. Usually, it's about Christmas toys for children.

  -> Gracias por tu comentario, Jane, pero no estoy de acuerdo. Al menos en Argentina, se entiende que uno dona dinero o cosas (juguetes, frazadas, colchones, alimentos no perecederos, ropa, etc.)
