World Sandwich Day, November 3

Restaurant Chain Also Feeding the Hungry on This Special Day

Fort Myers/Naples, FL – Stopping by your local Fort Myers/Naples area SUBWAY® this Friday, November 3, will not only get you a free sandwich, but also will help feed the hungry. Subway® is taking the traditional National Sandwich Day global with World Sandwich Day, inviting customers to join its “Live Feed” by enjoying a special offer that will help fight hunger around the world.

All 117 local Fort Myers/Naples area SUBWAY® restaurants are offering an incredible one-day special. Customers who buy a sandwich and 30 oz. drink not only get a free sandwich of equal or lesser value; they also get the satisfaction of knowing the restaurant is donating a meal* to Feeding America® for each purchase.

“Last year, our customers helped us make history with the largest single-day donation to Feeding America in its existence – 11 million meals,” said Subway® President and CEO Suzanne Greco. “This year’s unprecedented initiative will include thousands of Subway® restaurants around the globe. We’re excited to bring together our customers, franchisees and communities to inspire global action around hunger.”

In the U.S., one out of eight people struggle with hunger, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). That means 41 million people across the country, including nearly 13 million children and more than five million seniors don’t have enough to eat. Subway® and Feeding America® are addressing this serious issue for the second consecutive year to help fight hunger in the U.S.

“Hunger affects millions of individuals and families in communities across America,” said Feeding America® CEO Diana Aviv. “We are proud to continue our partnership with Subway® to help people who may not know where they will find their next meal.”
