Sandwich and Fresh Food Donation Guidelines

Making Sandwiches for Martha’s Table

THANK YOU for making sandwiches for Martha’s Table! The sandwiches you make will be

distributed on McKenna’s Wagon, our volunteer-run, mobile food service that provides hot,

nutritious evening meals, sandwiches, fruit, and snacks to 150 - 250 homeless men and women at

three locations across the city every night.

Below you will find guidelines for making sandwiches for Martha’s Table, and on the next page you

will see an information sheet that you can post or share with volunteers when you host your

sandwich-making event. The last page contains a donation form for you to complete and send to

Martha’s Table prior to your sandwich donation.

Sandwich Guidelines

 We accept two types of sandwiches: Meat & Cheese and Peanut Butter & Jelly.

 Please use healthier types of ingredients, such as whole wheat bread or lean meats, whenever

possible. Less is better if the healthier ingredients are more expensive. Please avoid bologna

and white bread when possible.

 Please do NOT apply any condiments to sandwiches (to extend shelf life), but feel free to

include a packet in the bag with the sandwich.

 Please individually wrap the sandwiches, whether that be in foil, plastic wrap, or sandwich

bags. Where possible, label sandwich bags to indicate sandwich contents (ex. TC = Turkey

and Cheese; HC = ham and cheese; H = ham, etc.).

 Once wrapped or placed in sandwich bags, please place the sandwiches in boxes in order to

make transporting them easier.

 Please sort the sandwiches by type and label the boxes “Peanut Butter & Jelly” or “Meat &

Cheese” so that we can quickly determine what must be refrigerated.

 Prior to dropping off the sandwiches, please provide a description, count and estimated

value of what you are donating using the donation form on page 3. This allows us to

refrigerate appropriate items immediately.

 When transporting sandwiches with cheese/meat, please be aware of the time that they are

not refrigerated.
