Subway invites the Kempsey community to join its largest fundraising event of the year, the Subway Live Feed; an initiative to help fight world hunger and feed Aussies in need.
In partnership with leading food relief organisation Foodbank, every guest who visits Subway Kempsey and purchases a sub, salad or wrap on November 2 will get one free, and Subway will donate the cost of a meal through Foodbank to those seeking hunger relief.
Franchise partner of Subway Kempsey, Benn Farrawell, said he is hoping locals will get behind this cause on the day.

“Last year when we had the charity day, it was definitely a bigger day for us than normal. We’re hoping to have an even larger number of locals getting behind the cause this year,” he said.
Last year 13 million meals were donated globally and 280,000 meals were donated in Australia alone, directly helping communities who experience food insecurity, including more than 2400 charities and 1,750 schools.
Each donation on Friday 2 November will be captured on the Subway Live Feed digital tracker, and guests are invited to follow the progress via www.SubwayLiveFeed.com.au.
Melinda Pavey MP will also be at Kempsey Subway on the day to help raise funds for those in need of food relief.
”We’re putting on a good deal for people while also helping those in need,” Mr Farrawell said.
