Visitors to the markets can pick up a box of daily surplus food in exchange for a donation.
Food Works Handsworth will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day but will be open over the rest of the festive period.
The full address is: Unit 12-14, Portland Business Park, 130 Richmond Park Rd, Sheffield S13 8HS.
