Nutritional Development Services Connects
Nutritional Development Services accomplishes its mission of feeding children and those in need by connecting resources with those in need of resources. In the case of Meals for Children, NDS connects federally-funded programs with area schools, child care centers, shelters and community-based centers. It is our tax dollars at work in service to children! With the Community Food Program, NDS connects the generous donations of individuals, schools and parishes with local food cupboards, soup kitchens and outreach teams.

Testimonials
When I am looking for a simple service project to do with a group of high school or college students, I’m always grateful knowing that NDS will make sure our snack bags get into the hands of children who need an encouraging word along with a bit of after-school protein. It helps us raise awareness about kids in need so close to home. And the NDS pickup policy is a life-saver! Thanks for helping us to help you feed the hungry!
Our students are arriving bright and early to satisfy their hunger! They are hungry for a great education and a well-balanced breakfast! At St. Francis de Sales, we are making sure that they get both thanks to NDS’ wonderful program.
The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program has been the most exciting thing to happen at Gesu this year. Students are thoroughly enjoying tasting some fruits and vegetables that are totally new to them. They love listening to the morning announcements which explain the nutritional value and the history of the fruit and vegetable. This program has been invaluable to our healthy eating program.
Your meals are the best, and the kids love them!

We are grateful for our connection with NDS Community Food Program. We know we can count on their food staples that help parents feed their children with nutritious selections. The regular food deliveries eliminate our anxieties about not having enough food and not sending people away without a respectful amount of food.
