Details

Join MMA and other Giving Singles as we volunteer our time for a Sandwich Run in conjunction with the Ekklesia organization and the Salvation Army. What is a Sandwich Run? It is simply the making and delivery of nutritious bag lunches to the homeless.

We will meet at the Salvation Army for an orientation where experienced volunteers from the Ekklesia organization will brief us on our task, lay down some ground rules and educate us about safety. This will be followed by us working together as a team to prepare 100 sandwiches and assemble our homemade lunches. These are not normal bag lunches; they represent kindness and hope shared with individuals who likely have not had a meal yet that day.

Once the lunches have been assembled, we will be ready to take the food to the streets. We will be led by experienced team leaders who will take us on designated routes to hand-deliver our meals to homeless men, women and children. After we have completed our mission, we will regroup for a debriefing, where we can share stories about what we?ve just experienced.

So what is a Sandwich Run? It is the satisfaction of having helped those less fortunate than you by bringing them nourishment and perhaps some hope that tomorrow could be a better day.

A portion of the proceeds go towards the purchase of food for the mission
