COORANBONG Public School has collected a record haul for its annual canned-food drive.
Over six weeks the students were asked to bring in canned food, which was donated to the Salvation Army's Bonnells Bay Corp.
Teacher Dale Tukua said students brought a different type of canned food each week, such as fruit, vegies and soups.
"We've found the school is very generous - every single class helped to donate cans," Ms Tukua said.
"The kids have realised the importance of helping others and it's good that it's going to local families."
Salvation Army Bonnells Bay Corp captain Tim Gittins said the Salvos appreciated the generosity of the school because every bit helped.
He said the food cupboard had been getting a good workout.
"These cans will be used to get people through a tough time - if they've just run a couple of days short or are waiting for other assistance," he said.
