Chugger (Charity mugging)

Chugger, short for "charity mugging," refers to a fundraising technique where individuals, often employed by organizations, approach people in public spaces to solicit donations for charitable causes. They typically engage in friendly conversation to encourage donations, often using compelling stories or emotional appeals. While chuggers aim to raise funds for good causes, some people find the practice intrusive or aggressive. It's important for potential donors to feel comfortable, take their time, and verify the legitimacy of the organization before contributing.
