Sandwich Making 101

Step 1

Keep all ingredients refrigerated throughout the sandwich-making process.

Wearing gloves and hair ties is REQUIRED. Lay out white bread (easiest to digest)—no ends/heels.

Step 2

Place one piece of cheese on EACH slice of bread. Every sandwich should have at least two pieces of cheese. No condiments should be used.

Step 3

Use 2.5 ounces of high-quality turkey or ham on each sandwich - no meat alternative allowed.

Step 4

Step 5

Place each sandwich in an individual zip lock sandwich bag. Press out excess air. Seal tightly. 

Neatly place the zip-locked sandwiches into the loaf bag, press out excess air, and secure well with a twist tie—no knots/bands. Place complete loaf bags into a refrigerator.

Step 6

Deliver your sandwiches in a cooler with ice packs to a convenient host site on Wednesdays. Follow the host’s directions for sign-in, labeling, and refrigeration.
