FoodBank's Naomi Johnson enjoying an in-house sandwich jam.A 'Sandwich Jam' is a sandwich making event – a fun-filled and socially responsible team building activity where groups work together to try and make as many sandwiches as possible in a limited time. Afterwards, the sandwiches are distributed to the hungry via our agencies.

For organisations and schools who would like FoodBank SA to arrange a Sandwich Jam on their behalf, we've developed an all-inclusive package starting at just R200 per person.

If you are considering arranging your own Sandwich Jam, independently of FoodBank SA, then please also read our guide to independent Sandwich Jams.

Basic Package and Pricing

Basic Package:

Starting at R200 per person,  the basic package covers everything we think you need for a Sandwich Jam lasting 40 minutes. All you need to do is (a) agree with us when and where, and how many people will be taking part, and (b) send out the invitations!

The basic package price applies to Sandwich Jams held Mon-Fri, between 8am and noon, exlcuding public holidays. We recommend you schedule your Sandwich Jam for a week-day morning, as it greatly increases the probability of the sandwiches being collected, distributed and eaten on the same day. 

We can arrange your Sandwich Jam either 'on-site' at a foodbank or 'off-site' at your preferred venue.

Prices:

On-Site: We can accomodate 20 to 40 people 'on-site' at one of our foodbanks at a basic package price of R200 per person (excluding VAT).

Off-Site: We can organise a Sandwich Jam 'off-site' at any suitable venue within 20km of one of our foodbanks for a minimum of 20 people. Basic package pricing (excluding VAT) is as follows;

What's Included?:

The basic package includes event planning, pre-event preparation, delivery of food and other supplies to the event venue, assistance with post-event clean-up, and sandwich collection and distribution. A detailed breakdown is listed below.

• Pre-event: FoodBank SA will calculate all the supplies required for the event, and procure and deliver (or arrange delivery of) those supplies to the venue. We'll also hire tables, if needed. A FoodBank SA representative will be at the event venue to assist with pre-event set-up for up to one hour. 
• Supplies:  FoodBank SA will provide bread, butter (or margarine), peanut butter and jam (or honey) sufficient for each participant to make up to 25 sandwiches. Typically, each participant makes 20-25 sandwiches in 40 minutes. FoodBank SA will provide an apron, hairnet, pair of gloves and disposable knife per person, plus suitable packaging for the sandwiches. We also provide plastic tablecloths to cover the tables.
• Post-Event Clean-up: A FoodBank SA representative will be at the event venue to assist with post event clean-up for up to one hour. 
• Food Collection & Distribution: Where the event is 'off-site', FoodBank SA will arrange for driver(s) and vehicle(s) to collect the sandwiches, together with any left over supplies. FoodBank SA will pre-select suitable agencies to receive the sandwiches, and distribute the sandwiches to those agencies within 24 hours of the end of the event.
