Sunnyside falls into the Wickersley North ward, which is not classed as a deprived ward by Rotherham Council.
But people at the centre say the cost of living is hitting everyone.
Lauren Robson has three children aged between three and 15 but says she cannot make ends meet – despite her husband working full time. She has health problems which mean she cannot work.
“I usually come every week as we only have the one income coming in and money is tight, especially at this time of year,” she says.
“They don’t judge you, which is a main thing I was concerned about, because my husband works and I thought I shouldn’t come in, but there are a lot of people in my situation.
“It’s not just for people who are unemployed, it’s for people who are genuinely struggling.”
Customers get a bag of fruit, vegetables, canned food and fridge items.
Parents with small children also get a bag of sweets. It is the small treats that cheer everyone up.
Lauren says she has definitely noticed money becoming tighter over the past couple of years.
“Things are quite tough even with my partner working full-time, things like going out on a weekend, we can’t do as often. There’s no spare money to put aside.
“When people talk about heating or eating – that is a real thing. I’ve been in that situation and I’ve got myself into debt where I couldn’t pay my bills and I’ve had to ask for extra help.
“Before, I wouldn’t have had to do that. Times have definitely changed.”
Lauren is on a payment plan with her energy company to repay her debt but still struggles with the normal gas and electricity bill.
“It’s like a massive heavy cloud over you, especially when you’ve got children,” she says.
“You don’t want to let them down, when they’re asking to do things you don’t always want to say no. You want to be able to do these things, but it is a struggle.
“If it wasn’t for the food bank, I would struggle a hell of a lot more. Everyone is so lovely, it’s like a family.”
