This annual initiative, formerly known as the Walk Against Hunger, raises funds for NDS and other anti-hunger organizations in the Philadelphia region. It benefits food pantries and soup kitchens that help hundreds of thousands of local families put food on their tables each day.
Those interested in supporting NDS and our neighbors in need can donate to Team NDS online here. Funds raised by NDS through the dedicated link will be used to combat hunger through the NDS Community Food Program.
In 2022, NDS provided over 1.9 million meals through its privately supported Community Food Program. NDS’ Community Food Program supports a network of 50 food cupboards throughout the Greater Philadelphia region including five food cupboards operated by Catholic Social Services, five soup kitchens, and numerous community outreach programs.

For over 50 years, NDS’ mission has been to serve children and those in need with healthy food and food-related resources. NDS accomplishes its mission in two distinct ways: by administering the federally-funded child nutrition programs and through the privately supported Community Food Program.
