PUPILS from Kennet Valley School, Lockeridge have delivered 12 baskets of donations of non-perishable food and toiletries to the Trussell Trust Devizes Food Bank.
The idea came from Mrs French who said it was a practical way to show how important it was to help other people.
Headteacher Mrs Russell said: "This was a tremendous result for our small school with contributions from villagers in Lockeridge too - everyone really got behind this initiative and so much more was donated than we were expecting.
"We will be doing this again because parents and children tell us they want to do the same for Christmas 2019 in addition to our annual harvest donations."
Four pupils were selected to deliver the items giving them a chance to understand the role food banks play in society.
They learnt that The Trussell Trust runs a network of over 420 foodbanks, which work out of more than 1,200 centres across the UK and provide emergency food to people referred for support.
