Children at Peel Clothworkers' School have donated almost 700kg of food to the Isle of Man Foodbank.
The school held a competition to see which year group could donate the greatest weight of food over the course of one week.
Totals came to 681kg, with the winning year group collecting 203.5kg of food.
Jess Egelnick, who organised the competition, says the children are really interested in helping local people, and paid attention to what items the food bank actually needs.
