MILFORD, Conn. – More than 42 million Americans—including more than 13 million children—live in households that may not have enough food for an active, healthy life. That’s why this year on National Sandwich Day, Subway is promoting its The Good Deed Feed initiative. Guests who buy any sub and any drink on Thursday, Nov. 3, will receive a free sub of equal or lesser value, plus Subway will donate one meal to Feeding America.

“One in eight Americans are going hungry, and we’re in the business of feeding people,” said Suzanne Greco, president and CEO of Subway, in a press release. “Many of our franchisees have been committed to fighting hunger in their communities for years, and we’re proud of The Good Deed Feed and the impact it will have on a national level.”

Subway would like to make National Sandwich Day the single largest meal donation day in Feeding America’s history by donating more than 11 million meals—with no limit on the number of meals donated. “Hunger is an issue that affects every community in our country,” said Diana Aviv, CEO of Feeding America. “Donations made through this campaign will go a long way in helping member food banks provide meals to people in need.”

In Canada, Subway restaurants have partnered with Food Banks Canada on a similar donation of meals as part of the National Sandwich Day Buy One/Get One promotion.
