Instructions

It’s easier to feed 150 people than you might think. It simply takes 1 trip to a local grocery store or by placing an online order for delivery (see 'Grocery Delivery Options' under the Sandwiches tab) to purchase the supplies, and then preparing 150 sandwiches. Six people can prepare 150 sandwiches in about 30 minutes. The total cost is approximately $100, and it will end up feeding 150 people in urgent need.

•	Cheese: There are packages of cheese that come in quantity of 72. Buy two packs plus another small eight pack (one slice per sandwich).
