Our well-established Community Food Larder, based in Lochee at Whorterbank, provides free and low-cost groceries and is:

• Open to everyone
• No referral required (or details needed to be given access)
• People have the ability to choose what items they require.
• Sustainable middle ground between traditional foodbanks and supermarkets
   

The aim is to promote dignity, ownership and choice to our members, and hope that by offering a larder to our community we are supporting other organisations, as well as reaching out to others in our community.

We also run a friendly, sociable café area where members can enjoy hot and cold refreshments as well as access support services, such as energy advice, citizens advice, welfare rights and more…

The Food Train has the following services:

Grocery Delivery: For older people living in Dundee who are facing difficulties with grocery shopping
