How it's used
Used primarily in formal or organizational contexts, such as charity drives, recruitment, or crowdfunding. It carries a sense of active outreach to the public or a specific group to gather resources or people. While it sounds professional, it is perfectly acceptable in spoken Cantonese when discussing serious projects or community initiatives.
Examples
They want to raise funds to organize an event.
Do you know where we can recruit volunteers?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual collection of personal items, such as gathering your own laundry or books, where 執 or 收集 are more natural. It implies a structured effort rather than a simple act of picking things up.
