Subway Canada To Help Provide Record Number Of Fresh Food Packs Through Never Miss Lunch Donation Drive

News Room — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 14:19:35 +0000

Food bank usage is at the highest level in Canadian history, with more than 1.5 million visits in one-month last year. One third of food bank clients are children, a devastating number when they only represent approximately 20 per cent of the general population. As part of its ongoing commitment to alleviating hunger for children in Canada, Subway^® Canada is launching its milestone 5th annual Never Miss Lunch^® donation day on Wednesday, June 21, committing its largest donation yet to help provide 185,000 packs, this year. For each Footlong sold on June 21st, $1 will support hunger relief initiatives in over 200 communities from coast to coast to coast.

In partnership with Food Banks Canada, Never Miss Lunch^® ensures kids can access fresh fruits and vegetables in the summer months when critical school-based nutrition programs end. This year, Subway^® Canada has set out to help Food Banks Canada deliver more than 185,000 fresh food packs to kids in need in Canadian communities just like yours. In 2022, the program delivered 175,000 healthy food packs.

Rising Food Insecurity Across Canada
According to Statistics Canada, in 2022, 6.9 million Canadians across ten provinces (including almost 1.8 million children) lived in a food-insecure household – a notable increase from the almost 1.4 million children who lived in food-insecure homes in 2021.

“Almost 6 million people in Canada lived in food insecure households in 2020. Hundreds of thousands more are now relying on Canada’s food banks this year. These are numbers almost too big to grasp,” says Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. “This is why we are grateful for loyal partners like Subway Canada who are doing their part to raise awareness of child food insecurity in Canada with the Never Miss Lunch campaign. We appreciate being able to work together and support children in communities that are most vulnerable, because no one should have to face hunger alone.”

Support in Every Community
“We’re humbled to have the overwhelming support of our franchisees who are celebrating this program in their restaurants across Canada. They are all more passionate than ever to be rallying together to continue to support their communities and to ensure kids have the nutrition they need,” says Doug Fry, Country Director, Subway Canada. “This year marks a major milestone of our Never Miss Lunch program – we’re honoured to celebrate five years of partnership with Food Banks Canada, and we’re proud to be increasing and expanding our contributions.”

Introducing the Never Miss Lunch^® Design Competition
To bolster awareness around childhood food insecurity in Canada, Subway^® Canada launched their Never Miss Lunch® Design Contest.³ The competition invites Canadians of all ages and skill sets to submit drawings to have the chance for their original artwork to be featured on Subway^® Canada’s next sandwich wrap nationwide and the chance to win one of the $500 Subway^® gift card prizes. The inspiration for designs is to answer the question: “What’s the best part about being a kid?” Subway^® Canada believes that by helping kids overcome hunger problems, they can get back to worrying about kid problems (the only problems kids should face) – like getting a basketball down from being stuck on the rim or dropping ice cream on a hot summer day.

Until June 18th, Canadians can visit nevermisslunch.ca to submit their design. As thanks for Canadians’ artistry, an additional $1 will be donated by Subway^® Canada to the Never Miss Lunch^® initiative, for each design submission.⁴ Four winning artists will have design elements integrated into sub wrappers and used in Subway^®restaurants nationwide later this year.

Driving Serie(ou)s Impact
Ordering a Footlong to support a good cause has never been easier. Subway^® Series is an entirely overhauled menu comprising fifteen craveable, chef-crafted sandwiches. It’s a new way to order – simply order by name or number, and your Subway^® Sandwich Artist does the rest.

Canadians can learn more about Never Miss Lunch^® by visiting Subway.com/NeverMissLunch and submitting a design at nevermisslunch.ca.

Subway Just Launched The Eat Fresh Refresh; New Ingredients, Signature Sandwiches

Muskoka411 Staff — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 12:40:32 +0000

You asked; they listened. Subway Canada is bringing bigger, better, and bolder to Canadians: brand new signature sandwiches, dynamic flavour combinations, new, Canadian-sourced ingredients, app upgrades and the promise of more crave-worthy announcements to come in 2022. Coined the ‘Eat Fresh Refresh,’ these upgrades have launched in Subway restaurants from coast to coast (to coast!) and are backed by Canadian athletic royalty Mark McMorris (three-time Olympic Snowboarding bronze medallist) and Leylah Fernandez (professional tennis player).

Medal-Worthy Menu Items
“I’m mindful about the food I eat as it can impact my performance – but I never compromise on taste. I’m also no stranger to pushing myself out of my comfort zone – on and off the slopes,” said Mark McMorris, three-time snowboarding Olympic Bronze medallist. “Subway Canada’s Eat Fresh Refresh is just that – we’re encouraging Canadians to switch up their ‘usual’ for something extraordinary.”

Serving Unmatched Flavour
“I’m constantly challenging myself to improve my game and sharpen my skills by trying new things and reminding myself to make good choices when it comes to food,” says Leylah Fernandez, Canadian professional tennis star and Subway Canada ambassador. “I’m excited for Canadians to discover what’s new at Subway restaurants – from Canadian-raised proteins, fresh veggies and new sauces, cheeses and breads; I know they’ll be impressed.”

Together with Subway Canada, Mark and Leylah will challenge Canadians to think bigger, challenge the status quo, welcome change, and discover better when making better-for-you choices. The duo will feature in commercial spots and social promotion in the coming months.

Unpacking the Eat Fresh Refresh
The refresh brings improvements to Subway Canada’s core menu, the introduction of more bread options, new Canadian-raised proteins, innovative sauces and tasty toppings. Canadians can now visit their nearest Subway restaurant to discover:

Five all-new, signature sandwiches:

Chicken Bacon & Peppercorn Ranch: Featuring Canadian Farm-Raised Chicken and Maplewood Smoked Bacon topped with crispy veggies and the zesty kick of the new Peppercorn Ranch dressing.
Smashed Avocado & Turkey: Served on our Classic Italian bread, topped with Canadian farm-raised Deli-style turkey and real Canadian cheddar and toasted, then topped with our smooth smashed avocado, lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, red onion, and drizzled with mayonnaise.
Great Canadian Club: Featuring Deli-Style turkey and ham and Maplewood Smoked Bacon, made from Canadian farm-raised turkey and pork. The Great Canadian Club is topped with lettuce, tomato, and Smoky Honey Mustard sauce.
Maplewood Smoked Bacon & Ham: Served on our Classic Italian bread, topped with Deli-style ham and bacon made from Canadian farm-raised pork and Canadian cheddar. Once toasted, it’s topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and red onion and drizzled with Smoky Honey Mustard and mayonnaise.
Southwest Steak and Avocado: Featuring seasoned steak and new smashed avocado, topped with our classic chipotle sauce and given an extra kick with our sweet and tangy banana peppers.

New and upgraded ingredients, like:

New meats: Canadian farm-raised Deli-Style Turkey, Deli-style Ham and Grilled Chicken
New sauces: Peppercorn Ranch Sauce and (coming later this year), Sweet & Smoky BBQ Sauce and Green Goddess Dressing
New toppings: Canadian Cheddar Cheese, Smashed Avocado
New breads: Harvest Grain and (coming later this year) Cheesy Tex-Mex

Inspired Upgrades
“When we set out to design the refresh, we diligently tested flavour combinations, visited Canadian producers and farmers, and spoke to Canadians about the options they want to see,” explained Chef John Botelho, Culinary Manager at Subway Canada. “From our five new signature sandwiches to the introduction of deli-style Canadian-raised proteins or the creation of three bold new sauces – we can’t wait for guests to experience intense, fresh new flavour combinations with each bite.”

Delivering Excellence
“Today is a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to deliver Canadians the quality ingredients, amazing taste, and top-notch experience they expect from Subway,” said Doug Fry, Subway Canada Country Director. “Canadians’ expectations for variety, selection and quality continues to evolve – as they should. We know because we asked. The Eat Fresh Refresh is more than just updates to our menu; it’s about showing Canadians we listen and push ourselves to be better by elevating our products and guest experience.”

Throughout 2022 Subway Canada will debut additional new menu items – branching out from sandwiches and rolling out new features on the Subway App.
