A food bank that already helps people on the breadline in Epsom, Ewell and Leatherhead is opening in Tadworth.
Epsom and Ewell Foodbank is opening up another distribution centre in Marble Way, Preston, over the Christmas period.
Jonathan Lees, a food bank volunteer and senior leader at Generation Church, said: "If it goes well then we will look at continuing it.
"Preston always has one of the highest levels of need."
Mr Lees said that the food bank gives three days worth of food and toiletries to people in a crisis such as redundancy, benefit delay or sickness.
Various agencies, including Citizens Advice Bureaux and housing associations, help to identify the people most in need and issue vouchers.
In its first year the food bank fed 1,679 people, issued 662 vouchers, trained more than 135 volunteers and collected more than 26 tonnes of food.
The food bank, which is part of the Trussell Trust network, opened in October 2012.
Mr Lees said: "In some ways it’s great that it has grown but it is wrong and awful that it has had to grow."
The Tadworth distribution centre will be housed next door to the Raven Housing Trust’s neighbourhood shop in Marbles Way.
It is scheduled to open between 10am and noon on Tuesdays for six weeks starting from December 10.
The food bank asks for donations of non-perishable supplies, such as tinned food and juice cartons, as well as toiletries and nappies.
