Nourish & Develop

Nourish & Develop The Nourish and Develop Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization, located in Cannington, Ontario. Established in 2000.

We are an organization where people can receive more than just access to food and services. Over the past few years, TNDF has grown in more ways than one. We have added to our dedicated team of staff, recruited and trained new volunteers, increased and improved community programs, and researched and implicated new strategies to strengthen our community. Today, we support families and individuals t

hrough our Food Pantry and service hundreds more through our community programming. Providing access to good food is just the beginning of our work. We believe that improving lives and building stronger communities is the result of working together with a sense of purpose. Our programs are developed to improve self-reliance and include projects that strengthen the community.

We’re welcoming more support into North Durham.

On Monday, June 8, representatives from Ontario Works and Durham College Community Employment Services will be on-site at The Nourish and Develop Foundation (TNDF), offering direct support to community members.

If you’ve been thinking about getting help with employment, income supports, or next steps, this is a great opportunity to connect in a familiar, local space.

To visit with one or both organizations, reach out to 705 432 2444 or [email protected] to book your time.

Our Social Services Hub was created to make support more accessible here in North Durham—because getting the right help shouldn’t mean going far.

A legacy that continues to grow 🌱

We’re deeply grateful to the family and community members at Brock 2020 Gardens who entrusted us with a meaningful donation of seedlings—plants started with care, hope, and a vision for the growing season ahead.

We’re honoured to receive and care for these seedlings in their new home at Maple Tree Community Garden, where they can continue a legacy of sharing, learning, and strengthening community through food.

As these seedlings take root, we’ll tend them with gratitude and hope it brings comfort to know that the care behind them will continue to grow and nourish both people and place throughout the season ♥︎

Right To Food’s pre-budget submission outlines 4 actions the federal government can take now:
1️⃣ Set national target for food security
2️⃣ Strengthen income supports
3️⃣ Expand disability benefits
4️⃣ Fund Indigenous food sovereignty

What is a Gyro Bowl?

Pronounced yee-ro (like “hero” with a Y), a gyro is a Greek dish made with seasoned meat that’s traditionally cooked on a vertical spit and shaved into thin slices.

At TNDF, our take on this classic features seasoned beef (or tofu) meatballs served with rice, fresh toppings, and tzatziki-style sauce—bringing those Greek flavours into a warm, hearty bowl.

We’ve also got a bonus item this week, thanks to a generous donation of fresh asparagus from Forsythe Family Farms—so come in and enjoy a surprise!
