Grassroots Grocery
The Great Sandwich Race is a high-energy, game show-style team competition where corporate teams race the clock to make as many sandwiches as possible. Events take place right in the company’s office or event space, typically on weekdays (Tuesday–Friday) and run for 1–2 hours—usually scheduled in the morning (9am–12pm), midday (12pm–3pm), or late afternoon (3pm–6pm). A live scoreboard tracks progress and keeps the energy high as teams compete. All sandwiches are delivered to community partners across New York City, helping provide meals to neighbors facing food insecurity. Companies use it for team-building, offsites, intern programs, and employee engagement—creating a fun, fast-paced experience with real impact. Grassroots Grocery is transforming the way communities address food insecurity by cultivating a network of neighbors helping neighbors to bring the pantry to the people.
