Charitable gift for worker on strike (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand-out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charitable gift' is the definition.
'hand out' can be an answer for 'gift' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'charitable' bit.

'worker on strike' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker).
'on strike' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'hand'+'out'='HAND-OUT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hand-out that I've seen before include "Distribute - information to the press" , "Something given free of charge, maybe a leaflet" , "Something given free - in manual manner?" , "Distribute - press release(4,3;7)" , "Notes givne in class - with outstretched palm" .)
