A DAY care centre has handed over items generously donated by youngsters and their parents.
Blossom & Bloom Day Care, based in Gestingthorpe, collected the food as part of its annual harvest festival collection.
Once all the donations were in the nursery took six children to Halstead Foodbank to hand over the items.
Amanda Carter, manager at the nursery, said: “The children had a wonderful learning experience and now have a better understanding about helping others less fortunate than ourselves.
“Well done Blossom Buddies and thank you to all the parents and staff who made this adventure possible.
“We would also like to say thank you to all the staff at the foodbank for making us so welcome.
“It truly was a memorable day.”
