Just one month into existence and Wombwell's food bank is already serving 20 or so people a week.
Residents from throughout the borough are being referred to the Salvation Army's centre on Park Street, usuallly from job centres.
Captain Julie Bovan says the emphasis of their work is to provide people with temporary assistance, not long-term handouts, as they are working alongside the Trussell Trust.
"We have been getting all sorts of demographics and ten or so people come through the doors for each of our two sessions," she said.
"People are sent here by professionals and we have had people come from as far away as Penistone.
"This is an interim measure and the Trussell Trust has a recommended guide for us and the food is nutritional based.
"People can only come three times as it helps them through a particularly difficult period."
The food is collected with the help of three of Wombwell's churches and also Jump's Wesleyan Chapel and is given out on Mondays and Thursdays. The centre opened its doors as a food bank in early October and is an addition to their drop-in sessions.
