The children were given clues to find different food items and if all food was placed into the trolley Tesco Ballymena would donate the contents to the Foodbank.
Cllr Gaston was fitted with a Go Pro video camera to his chest to record the fun.
Tesco Ballymena and Ballymena Foodbank would like to thank all those who helped organise the collection and our generous customers.
