Thursday Night Sandwich Party! Making Breakfast for the Homeless

November 21, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Looking for something meaningful to do to fill a Thursday evening once a month? Come join us as we make sandwiches to serve at our 2nd Monday Homeless Breakfast at Friendship Park.

What to Bring: Fixins for 30 sandwiches. Most loaves have 22-24 slices of bread making 11 or 12 sandwiches… So 3 loaves of bread and the fixins to make the bread into sandwiches. Bring jars of peanut butter and jelly or packages of lunch meat and cheese (Please NO American cheese or condiments). CostCo or Smart & Final have the best prices on fixins! We will provide the tools to make the sandwiches.

We feed anywhere from 250-350 people at each breakfast. It would be AMAZING to have 400-500 sandwiches at the ready! It’s nice to have extra sandwiches so we can double-up the serving after we run out of oatmeal (which we always do).

💙💚💛💜

The Sunday Sandwich group has set a high bar to reach. With upwards of 20 folks attending, they have made as many as 500 sandwiches in just over an hour. Can we beat their time?

Along with these sandwiches, we serve hard-boiled eggs, bananas, tangerines, and hot cereal. At the April sandwich event, one of the attendees asked about helping out and requested that we include details here so… If you’d like to help out, check out needs list here https://tinyurl.com/BreakfastProgramSac sign up for those items you’d like to contribute, #ShopAndPrep then bring your donations with you to the sandwich party and drop them off!

If you’d like a receipt for your tax-deductible donation, include a copy of your receipt along with your name and mailing address and we will send a year-end tax letter!
