Mission Peak UU has been making sandwiches for folks needing extra support since 2013. This project began as a fun and easy way to get youth involved in social justice work and continues as a multigenerational, community effort. Typically we share these sandwiches with two main recipient organizations, Second Chance substance abuse treatment and recovery center in Newark, and S.A.F.E. (Safe Alternatives for Violent Environments) counseling support and shelter in Fremont. More recently we’ve shared the sandwiches with our neighbors who live at the encampment off of Washington Blvd known as “the slabs”.

If you’d like information about when we’ll offer the next Sandwich Squad, please reach out by email to Ariel Smith-iyer: dre@mpuuc.org or to Don Ramie: donramie2@gmail.com
