In a recent survey of Food Train members, they said they are buying less food in their weekly shop and cooking less, so they can save money to heat their homes as food and energy prices remain high. Support us to help our members by Sponsoring-A-Box today thefoodtrain.enthuse.com/sponsor-a-box

Food Train said pensioners were at risk of "falling dangerously ill" if they took the decision to eat less in a desperate attempt to save money on bills. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Nobody likes to talk about it, but the reality is there are hidden operational costs in keeping any charitable organisation running. Food Train is no different! Your contributions this BOXtober can make a difference in helping us to support older people. thefoodtrain.enthuse.com/sponsor-a-box

Our amazing volunteer shoppers work hard to collect everything on our members' shopping lists. Pauline a volunteer since 2011 at our West Lothian branch told us: “I started because my parents needed help, but nothing like Food Train existed where they live. I love helping others”
