A social supermarket, thought to be the largest of its kind in the East Riding, has opened in Goole today.
It's at the Two Rivers Community Pantry on Stanhope Street and will sell surplus food from the big supermarkets at heavily-discounted prices to try and help tackle poverty and offer an alternative to food banks.
Anne Handley, who is the project manager, said: "We have people that work very hard and are now working poor and people that are just sometimes having a very difficult time.
"We just want them to know that we are here. We are here for anybody."
