Subway® Goes Global to Combat Hunger on World Sandwich Day Friday, Nov. 3, 2017

Subway® introduces “Live Feed” offer to help fight hunger around the
world

MILFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Subway® is taking National Sandwich Day global with World Sandwich Day.
On Friday, Nov. 3, more than 40,000 Subway® restaurants in more than 60
countries will invite customers to join its “Live Feed” by enjoying a
special offer that will help fight hunger around the world.

In the U.S., when customers buy a sub and a 30 oz. drink, they will get
a free sandwich, plus Subway® will donate a meal* to Feeding America®.

“Last year, our customers helped us make history with the largest
single-day donation to Feeding America – 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 5
million seniors, don’t have enough to eat. In addition, Latinos in the
U.S. are more than twice as likely to be food insecure and live in
poverty as White, non-Hispanics. One in five Latinos (20%) are
food-insecure, and one in four Latino children live in a food-insecure
household. 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.”
