Meals for Children in Residential Institutions

Nutritional Development Services (NDS) provides meals to organizations that operate residential institutions for children requiring specialized care. The food service, menu selection, and nutritional value of the foods offered are supervised by NDS. NDS also supports the continued wellness of both residents and caregivers.

Food safety, in compliance with HACCP guidelines, is practiced and regulated. NDS is able to provide financial assistance through the federal child nutrition programs.

NDS is currently assisting over 25 institutions operated by Catholic Social Services.
