A NEW food bank is to open this Friday.
It's set to open in Cudworth Library for the first time between 3pm and 5pm and it will be the first food bank to open in MP Michael Dugher's constituency.
"I have huge admiration for the amazing volunteers who have worked so hard to set up the food bank in Cudworth, especially for Rev David Nicholson and local councillors," Mr Dugher said.
"Their compassion and community spirit is truly inspirational, but it's absolutely shameful that in the seventh richest country in the world we have to open food banks in Barnsley to help people feed their families."
Any donations are being asked to be taken to Grimethorpe's Asda, Shafton ALC, shops in Cudworth and Cudworth Primary School.
This is the first food bank in the Barnsley East constituency and the second in Barnsley, the first being the one at Gateway Church.
