Patrick Temple-West was a leader in the anti-hunger movement. He was responsible for founding NDS and many other hunger assistance organizations in the region including Philabundance, Share Food Program and the former Greater Philadelphia Food Bank. While on staff at Saint Joseph's University Academy of Food Marketing, Mr. Temple-West took a leave of absence to research federal meals programs for children and founded NDS.

Nutritional Development Services' mission is to provide meals, food assistance and additional support to organizations serving children and the poor as an extension of the services and mission of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Last year, NDS served over 7 million meals through its child nutrition programs and collected the equivalent of 2 million meals through its Community Food Program.
