The season for preparing the annual JSS Holiday Drive program has begun.
In North America, at the beginning of the holiday season, organizations have members who stand on the sidewalks to receive donations from passers-by in order to support the less fortunate members of society. You might have seen campaign titles with the word “drive” in it. The “holiday drives” usually collect food, toys or money, which is then distributed to people in need.
