PB+J Sandwich Making

1.      Assemble a team- Making sandwiches can be fun, get a group of people together to make them, set up a time, date, and location.

2.      Find a place to donate- Certain shelters/organizations accept mass food donations. For example, Our Daily Bread http://www.catholiccharities-md.org/our-daily-bread/odb-food-service/food-donations.html.

a.      Contact the shelter to set up an appropriate time and date to donate.

b.      Keep in mind that PB+J’s do not stay good forever, try to donate them within ~12 hours of  making them.

3.      Purchase your ingredients:

a.      Bread- remember, each sandwich requires 2 slices!

b.      Peanut Butter and Jelly-Read the serving size to estimate how much you need.

c.       Utensils to spread with.

d.      Plastic Baggies to put sandwiches in- most shelters will require each sandwich to be individually packaged.

e.      Paper Bags (Optional)

4.      Assemble Sandwiches- Make it fun, maybe have a competition, just remember that this is the people’s meal, make sure the food is neat, presentable and full (don’t skimp on the PB+J).

5.      Decorate Bags-Decorate the paper bags you may have bought with positive messages and pictures. It is fun to do and will brighten up the people’s day.

6.      Drop off your donation!
