Sandwiches

We always need sandwiches for our clients that are going to work during our meal times.

For our Drop Off Instructions, go to Our Needs. If you want to donate more than 100 sandwiches, please email us at Volunteer@unionshelter.org to schedule.

For us to keep the sandwiches in the best condition, please follow the following protocol:

• All
  • Do not cut sandwiches.
  • Individually bag sandwiches in ziplocs.
  • Use fully sealing zippered bags, don’t use the fold over bags. This prevents the sandwiches from drying out.
  • Pack the sandwiches back in the loaf bag and tie shut.
• Lunchmeat
  • Bread, Lunchmeat, Cheese
  • Leave condiments off. That keeps sandwiches from getting soggy.
  • Label with type of meat. We have some people who do not eat pork. We prefer turkey, chicken, beef bologna sandwiches for this reason.
• Peanut Butter and Jelly
  • Bread, Peanut Butter, Jelly
  • Put a small layer of peanut butter on both sides then jelly in the middle. That keeps sandwiches from getting soggy.

Any questions, email us at Volunteer@unionshelter.org or call (704) 261-3491.

For Union Academy students signing up to provide sandwiches for volunteer hours:

• Each “shift” counts as 1 sleeve of sandwiches which equals 1 hour of volunteering. DO NOT drop off at the times you are signing up for.
• Drop off the same day you signed up for (Sundays) but during the hours of 9-11am.
