A food bank is stockpiling food in anticipation of a surge in demand caused by the furlough scheme ending and a potential no-deal Brexit.
Before the first national lockdown in March, Spires Foodbank in Sheffield served about 30 people a week.
Now it has 250 weekly users and manager Andru Keel says they are bringing in more storage units to cope with demand for tinned and dried goods.
The government said it had provided money to support food aid charities.
