What is an old fashioned custom called "a pounding"?

Answer 1

A custom dating back to Quaker founding days: When a couple move into the neighborhood, a welcome wagon type of get together would be called where all the neighbors would bring a pound of sugar, flour, or whatever, to help stock up the new neighbors cupboards. Nowadays, a church event, where you bring any essentials to add to the new couples' stock.

A young couple just starting out, or maybe a family in need, a new preacher, everyone gets a pound of something, like flour, meal, sugar, butter, etc and bring it to them. Usually everyone delivers it at the same time. Kind of like a surprise shower.
