Pupils from Coleshill Heath School and Fordbridge Community Primary donated more than 130 hampers.
These have been delivered to elderly and vulnerable residents, including victims of crime, in the local community.
Fordbridge Primary said: "We are extremely proud of our parents/carers, pupils and staff who have contributed so many hampers for such a fantastic cause!"
The annual campaign, co-ordinated by Solihull Council's neighbourhood team, started a few years ago.
Its success was praised by Coun Karen Grinsell, cabinet member for adult social care and health, at this month's Full Council meeting.
During the same discussion, Chelmsley Wood councillor James Burn had reminded members how many people suffer loneliness over the festive period.
Previous research by the mental health charity Mind suggested that one in ten 25 to 34-year-olds spend December 25 on their own.
