Great sandwiches have more than just flavor. They have character.
At Sandwich Smash 2009, some of Philadelphia’s best sandwich makers are coming together for the first time to share the love for sandwiches and to do something good for the community. Proceeds from the event will benefit Philabundance, the Delaware Valley’s largest hunger relief organization.
The audience will be served a five-course meal of the featured sandwiches plus food and drinks from our sponsors: Anheuser-Busch, Herr’s and Capogiro.
As part of the event, we are launching sandwiches fight hunger: a peanut butter and jelly food drive for Philabundance. Our goal is for people to donate something as simple as peanut butter to help Philabundance feed hungry families.
Please help us spread the word for the event and our sandwiches fight hunger food drive.
How You Can Give:
- Request free shipping supplies from the USPS.
- Drop off food directly to Philabundance’s warehouse.
- Hold a peanut butter food drive in your office.
- Buy the SANDWICHES FIGHT HUNGER shirt.
Facts about hunger:
- One 18oz jar of peanut butter makes 14 sandwiches according to Jif Peanut Butter.
- Philabundance provides enough food for approximately 65,000 meals a week.
- There are approximately 900,000 food insecure people in the Delaware Valley.
- Peanut Butter is an item that Philabundance almost never gets donated from the manufacturer and therefore must either purchase to give to agencies or rely on people to donate it through food drives – that is why this food drive is so important.
- Peanut Butter is a healthy food and very high in protein, something people who are food insecure may lack in their diet.
- September is Hunger Action Month
