HUNDREDS of Easter eggs have been collected as part of the Eggstravaganza 2002 campaign which aims to make Easter more enjoyable for deprived people in the Darlington area.
People were asked to buy an extra Easter egg and take it to the collection points at the Alpha radio offices, in Darlington, or to Asda.
Darlington Borough Council social services department has collected all the eggs and will distribute them to people in need.
Councillor Bill Dixon said: "Darlington people have once again shown how wonderfully generous they are this Easter.
"The small gift of an egg to someone living on their own or a child will make a world of difference. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this year's Eggstravaganza."
