Only a fraction of the children who receive free or reduced-price school lunches are reached by the summer meals program.  With summer on the horizon and this alarming gap in mind, Nutritional Development Services (NDS) was happy to host a recent meeting of local Summer Meal sponsors, Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) administrators, University of Pennsylvania’s Fox Leadership Executive Director, and Ms. Audrey Rowe, Administrator of Food and Nutrition Services for the United States Department of Agriculture.  […]

As we are about to come to a close of the 2012-13 school year, NDS’ School Meals Program is grateful we had the chance to partner with 6 new schools, including St. Cecilia’s, St. James, St. Francis Cabrini, St. Anthony of Padua Regional Ad Prima Charter School and Queen of Angels Regional School. The new schools are making possible 100,000 additional lunches this school year. For more info about School Meals at your school, call Anne Ayella at NDS at 267-262-8901.

NDS summer staff has begun training 2013 summer sites.  Over 100 sites have been trained so far.  If your site is interested in joining us in our effort to feed children during the summer months when school is out, please call us. Trainings for new and returning sites will be offered throughout May and June. Call today: 215-895-3470.  We look forward to partnering with you in feeding children this summer!
