HELP SUBWAY STOCK FOOD PANTRIES!

I was contacted by Subway to help get out the news

of their promotion to help restock the shelves of

Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia

I am not being compensated in any way

for this post. It is just the right thing to do!

Come by for lunch with a friend or bring your family.  This is an opportunity to teach your children the concept of giving to those less fortunate. In addition, you are teaching them healthy eating habits 
with Subway's healthy menu. The food drive will take place during Subway's normal operating hours, August 22, 2013.

This particular promotion is taking place in the coastal Georgia counties (listed below). Please check with your local Subway to determine what promotion may be taking place in your area.

Don't forget August 22nd

Here’s how it will work:

-        One-day only food drive at local SUBWAY® restaurants on August 22. During each      
restaurant's normal hours.

-        All food collected will be used to directly help people within your community.

-        In exchange for a donation of non-perishable food, participants will receive a buy one get one six-inch sandwich.

-        Our goal is to drive as much community involvement as possible and collect 5,000 lbs of food.
