About One Sandwich at a Time.
One Sandwich at a Time began with a simple, powerful act of kindness. Rushing through Grand Central Station, co-founder Erin Dinan grabbed a sandwich, having not eaten all day. On her way to the platform, a homeless man asked for food—and without hesitation, she handed him half. His gratitude stayed with her long after the train ride, inspiring her to start making and distributing sandwiches to others in need.
After sharing the idea with her friend and co-founder, George Kontogiannis, One Sandwich at a Time was born. What started as one small gesture has grown into a grassroots nonprofit that has provided over 500,000 sandwiches to hungry New Yorkers and counting.
