Summer Sandwich Program
For many of our neighbors, summer can be just as difficult as stark winters. While school is out, thousands of children lose access to reliable meals, leaving families, homebound seniors, and individuals experiencing homelessness facing even greater food insecurity. This summer, you can help change that through sandwich making or donations.
Help Caring for Friends provide fresh, homemade sandwiches to those who need them most. Whether you volunteer with your company, church, school, community group, or individually, every sandwich made helps feed a neighbor in need. Contact MBerk@caringforfriends.org for information on how you can help hundreds in Philadelphia this summer.

Hunger doesn’t take the summer off. In fact, it can be even harder than winters. Homebound seniors face isolation and extreme heat, kids lose access to school meals, and many neighbors experiencing homelessness struggle to find consistent food and support.
With your help, we can prepare and deliver 100,000 nutritious meals, sandwiches, and waters to our Philly neighbors who may not have food, A/C, or someone looking out for them.
Email: Volunteer@CaringForFriends.org to get more info on how you and your team can help this summer. Thank you!
Caring for Friends serves all five counties of Philadelphia: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia.

How Can You Help?
Food and funds are down and every little bit of donations helps provide food and friendship to homebound, homeless, and hungry friends in our area. There are many ways to provide impact for our neighbors.
The resulting $10,000 can help us buy:
- feeds 700+ homebound seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities
- Every $10 helps provide five meals to a homebound neighbor in need – consider donating monthly
- 2,500 snack bags for people facing homelessness on the streets and in shelters
- Just $6 provides a day’s worth of meals to someone who might not have them otherwise
Caring for Friends has a variety of volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups of all sizes and ages. Help prepare meals in our kitchen, pack boxes in our dry line, or help us in the office or warehouse.

We are always in need of frozen protein, canned items, as well as non-perishable foods. In addition, everyday pantry items—such as spices, herbs, and oils—are needed for us to keep a well-stocked commercial kitchen.
Most Needed Items
Groups can prepare these bags as part of a volunteer event in our location or theirs. Volunteers who help assemble snack bags will place 6-9 items in a bag for our homebound seniors, people living on the streets or in shelters, and children and their families in need.
Learn to Make Snack Bags
In everything we do, we strive to provide not just food, but also friendship. Sometimes, this comes in the form of a caring note – a hand-written word of inspiration to brighten someone’s day. We are always in need of caring notes from caring people like you! Learn more about these notes and how you can get them to us. *NEW: We now have Coloring Caring Note Templates!
