Volunteer Food Safety Guide

Document titled 'Sandwich Preparation, Storage, & Delivery' from The Sandwich Project outlining food safety guidelines, including the two-hour rule and handling tips.

Deli Sandwich Making 101

Instructions for making deli sandwiches, including keeping ingredients refrigerated, wearing gloves, toasting bread, adding cheese and high-quality deli meat, sealing sandwiches in zip-lock bags, and refrigerating.

PBJ Sandwich Making 101

Instructions for making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, including detailed steps and accompanying images for each step.

PB&J sandwiches are always an option, but we have limited recipients that accept them each week, so, if possible, please default to turkey sandwiches (ham is our second preferred item among recipient organizations).

We pride ourselves on providing high-quality food items that aren’t as frequently offered to these organizations, so turkey sandwiches are our favorite item to accept!

For large group events, we only make deli sandwiches.

Thank you for joining the fight against food insecurity in Atlanta.

Every sandwich matters. Every volunteer makes a difference.
Together, we're feeding hope to our neighbors.
