Dole is a charitable donation or support, like the dole governments provide to victims of natural disasters. Dole is also a verb meaning “distribute,” so you might dole out your leftover Halloween candy to your little sisters.
In Britain, unemployment benefits and other government aid is commonly known as “the dole.” In the U.S., the noun dole is rare, but when it's used it means “any charitable gift.” When local businesses hold a toy drive during the winter holidays, those donations are dole given to needy families. As a verb, dole is most commonly used in the phrasal verb “dole out,” although you'll sometimes see it used on its own.
