Club Sandwich

We ‘sandwich’ the meal gap for the homeless and food insecure in Toronto. The meal gap is the time period between when local missions provide a hot meal or food bank offering and until they do so again.

Our goal is to ‘sandwich’ the meal gap that exists for the homeless and food insecure. The meal gap is the time period between when local missions provide a hot meal or food bank offering and until they do so again.

Club Sandwich is a grassroots food security organization with over 1000 volunteers that weekly deliver sandwiches to local missions. Those missions serve them to their guests as a takeaway meal.

100% of your monetary donation goes to purchasing sandwich ingredients for on-site volunteers to make and you will receive a charitable tax receipt.

We use the funds to ‘sandwich’ the meal gap.

We purchase ingredients for onsite volunteers to prepare sandwiches at our clubhouse located at the Neighbourhood Food Hub located at 1470 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON M4L 2A3 all day Tuesdays and Thursday mornings they get delivered each and every week.

Our weekly logistics work as follows:

Tuesday and Wednesday’s sandwiches made by local area Club Sandwich members get dropped into a contactless bin and moved into a walk-in cooler. Those same onsite volunteers on Tuesdays prepare sandwiches with ingredients purchased via donated monetary funds. On Thursdays at 11am all of the sandwich donations are sorted and volunteer drivers deliver them to up-to 10 local area missions.

Our weekly sandwich drive currently supports Toronto area charities including Good Shepherd Ministries, St. John the Compassionate Mission, Danforth Church, Fontbonne Ministries Mustard Seed, St. Luke’s United Church, Bethany Baptist Church, Eastview Community Centre Senior’s Outreach Programming, CFTO, South Riverdale Community Centre and more being added when we can sustainably guarantee a weekly delivery to each.

Thank you for helping ‘sandwich’ the meal gap for the homeless and the food insecure.

Sandwich 🥪 = ❤️

    I strongly believe in paying it forward because you never know if you will be on the receiving end

    I believe paying it forward when you are fortunate because you never know where life may take you or you maybe on the receiving end

    I have been donating the same amount every month almost since the start of this project. Due to covid I am unable to return to Toronto at this time. If I can’t be there to make sandwiches, I can help others to do it! This is just such an amazing coming together of people helping people and I am so happy to be a part in it all.

    I plan to keep making sandwiches when time allows but my schedule has gone crazy. I hope a weekly contribution can help keep the sandwich train running.

    A very worthwhile charity, neighbours helping neighbours, especially when 100% of donations goes to purchase food.
