Pupils at Dunmow St Mary’s Primary School have taken part in Braintree food bank s reverse advent calendar initiative.
This month, instead of receiving a gift each day, the children have brought in a grocery item for the food bank.
The charity, which has been operating for the past five years, is run in partnership with churches in the Braintree area.
It works with organisations who come into contact with people at risk of going hungry and its offices are staffed by volunteers.
Headteacher Clare Griffiths said: “Participating in this important initiative has reminded the children that the Christmas spirit is as much about giving as receiving gifts.
