Question

Hello, if the community wants a certain person to become a charity collector, is he obligated to do so?

Answer

Hello,

He should become a charity collector, and his reward is great, as in the mitzvah of charity, the act is greater than the doer.

[However, each case should be considered individually, and it is advisable for him to consult with a rabbi who knows him].
