Community Lunches

The Nourish and Develop Foundation (TNDF) opened its doors in Cannington, Ontario in 2008. Upon opening, our work was focused on community food systems and food security in Brock Township and surrounding communities.Over the years, we've deepened our understanding and impact, acknowledging that food insecurity is a complex issue requiring complex solutions. Therefore, in 2023, we formally established two branches of service: Food Services and Social Services. Across these two branches, in deep collaboration, we provide low-barrier supports to those in need.Our Food Services branch is dedicated to not only alleviating hunger in a dignified and low-barrier way but also advancing household and community food security.Our Social Services branch goes beyond addressing immediate needs, offering programs and services to support and sustain growth for individuals, families, and the community as a whole.Our Missionis to connect people to nourishing food and supportive resources, empowering the community to come together to develop lasting change.Our Visionis a thriving community where everyone is food secure, safely housed, and well supported.
