Food Services

Community Kitchen

Our community kitchen is at the heart of our food services branch. All of the work our chefs and volunteers do in the kitchen supports all other Food Services programs.

The Heart of Food Services

Our chefs prepare all of the meals, spice-blends, and focaccia loaves that go out through Nourish House Food Bank, Mobile Food Market, and Night Market. They also collaborate closely with other team members on our food literacy workshops and camps, ensuring that essential food handling skills are taught and followed, and that the food prepared is both nutritious and delicious!

Our kitchen team is always working to minimize our food waste by getting creative with edible surplus. It’s thanks to them that TNDF has nearly no food waste, which is something we’re very proud of.

Partnerships

We partner with other local non-profits to prepare meals and snacks for distribution. Current partnerships include:

Brock Community Libraries

Our kitchen team provides snacks and beverages for Brock Community Libraries’ outreach programs.

Community Care Durham

Each week, we distribute prepared meals through Community Care Durham's Meals on Wheels program.

Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW)

We distribute meals to migrant workers in our area with BCHC, St. Paul's Anglican Church, and Durham Region Migrant Workers Network.
