Gifts to charity (4)

I believe the answer is:

alms

(Other definitions for alms that I've seen before include "Charity offering" , "Old word for money given to the poor" , "Charitable relief" , "Contributions to the poor" , "Charity for poor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
