The PB&J; drive is an annual initiative of NDS. The food collected will go to 35 food cupboards throughout the region at a time when hunger is so prevalent in our city and suburbs. The mission of NDS 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.
