Biographical Info

At The Nourish and Develop Foundation, our mission is to connect people with nourishing food and supportive resources, empowering the community to create lasting change! Since opening our doors in 2008, community food work has been our bread and butter. Our Food Services branch not only alleviates hunger in a dignified way, but also works to improve food security for households and the community. Programs like the Nourish House Food Bank, Mobile Food Market, Community Lunch, and Food Literacy Workshops are central to our efforts. In 2023, we proudly introduced our Social Services branch to address immediate needs while supporting long-term growth for individuals, families, and the entire community. Our programs include Life Skills Workshops, Social Service Access Points, and Transitional Housing, all designed to empower our community. Across these two service branches, in deep collaboration, we provide low-barrier support to those in need, working toward our vision of a thriving community where everyone is food secure, safely housed, and well supported.
