Heckmondwike Salvation Army held a Pancake Lunch at its base on Barrack Street.
Spokesperson Janet Devine said: "This was a community outreach event, free for anyone to come and join us for lunch and friendship."
Over the years it has become tradition for people to eat pancakes to mark the beginning of Lent in order to use up ingredients that they would not be allowed to eat during the 40-day period, which is how Pancake Day obtained its name.
