Welcome to The Sandwich Foundation
We are a grassroots Canadian non-profit Incorporated registered charity in Calgary.
We provide healthy lunches for homeless individuals and families. We work in conjunction with shelters, and various social programs to assist them in meeting their growing needs.
We are 100% volunteer driven, so that every dollar donated, assists in feeding the vulnerable.
The Sandwich Foundation works to provide Calgary Drop In & Rehabilitation Center Society (CDIRCS), Mustard Seed, Elizabeth House Women In Need Shelters, and various programs to provide healthy lunches for the working homeless who would otherwise go hungry.
Through the work of volunteers, groups, and donations, we are able to produce and distribute approximately 8,000 sandwiches per week. The monetary funds donated by your generous contribution allows us to purchase supplies needed to make the sandwiches that are prepared by individuals, adult groups, school communities, children and youth programs, and corporate/ local businesses.
Only $2.00 provides an individual with a healthy lunch.

We welcome individuals to help out in a range of capacities to come join us in making sandwiches for the homeless.
Amazing vision Amanda, you are making a difference. It only needs one person to have an idea, and it takes courage to carry it out. A lot of people have the ideas, it is the follow-through that takes the courage and effort.
A great way to work as a team and provide much-needed food for fellow Calgarians!
