Facebook has launched a new tool that allows users in the US to raise food, clothing and other essentials for those in need. This feature, known as Drives, is provided through Facebook's existing community help center, which is where Facebook gathers requests and provides help in local communities.
The Community Help Center was first launched in 2017 as a way for Facebook users to pool resources after a crisis. By 2020, this feature has become widely available as part of the Facebook COVID-19 initiative, and there is even a global Community Help feature to Help those affected by COVID-19 outbreaks.

Now, with the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and millions of people losing their jobs, 12 million people could lose their unemployment benefits when the country's health care law expires in December. In addition, food insecurity and the inability to pay bills, including rents and mortgages, and manage other household expenses are also affecting millions of people.
Facebook plans a campaign that will allow users to create and share their own efforts to collect items for those in need.
If you want to create a Drives, the user needs to enter the Community Help Hub in the Facebook search. Then click the "Request or Offer Help" button, and in the bottom form click "Create Drives." Users can then fill in the form and set the number of items they want to collect. When you publish Drives, others will see what else is required for the target Drives. Once created, Drives will appear on the user's News Feed and time line, just like a regular article.
