Bologna/Cheese Sandwiches & Corn Chips & Cookies for The Soupmobile

(It’s not as hard to join us to make sandwiches as the length of this document would suggest, please come. The most important thing to bring is yourself, ingredients/supplies and donations are completely optional.)

Sandwich-Making Every Saturday, 11:00 am–12:30 pm at 3025 MAIN/Excuses Café in Deep Ellum. Enter through front door at 3025 Main, or side door on the patio by the parking lot.

Free parking behind the café building on Elm St, inside the chain-link fence. (Do not park in Baker’s Ribs parking lot next door.) Pay for metered parking or get a ticket.

Who Can Come: All adults and young adults, kids 2” taller than the table who can work for 45 minutes—no kids who have to be tended to.

Bring These in Any Combination:

· Wheat sandwich bread—one loaf of bread makes 11 sandwiches—cheapest is at Aldi’s, Walmart, and Sam’s

· Thick-sliced bologna—cheapest bologna is at Aldi’s—Walmart, Sam’s and Costco are cheaper than grocery stores

· American cheese—look for large box of American cheese slices with no wrappings, but you probably won’t find it—packages or large boxes of wrapped cheese are fine

· No mustard, we have plenty right now

· No mayo or other coniments

· Zip sandwich bags—no fold-over sandwich bags

· Plastic or latex gloves, Medium and Large—we need a few Small for kids

· Tortilla chips—buy the biggest bag you can find

· Cookies—sandwich cookies (look for 7-10 cents-a-pound cookies), animal crackers, other cookies, or homemade cookies. For homemade cookies, wear gloves when you take them off the cookie sheet, and wear gloves when you put them in a large zip bag to bring them

· Donations—While sandwiches are being made, someone makes a trip to the Neighborhood Walmart store at Hall/75 to buy what we are short of. Give donations to Al or Dan before sandwich-making starts

Dress: Pull hair back so it doesn’t hang in your face or wear ball cap, wear anything you can get bleach spots on
