At St James’, the Cub Sandwiches program is a valued service initiative, bringing together students, staff and families to make sandwiches for local children who may not have access to breakfast or lunch. After each session, the sandwiches are delivered to seven nearby primary schools including Yanchep Rise Primary School, Alkimos Primary School, Alkimos Beach Primary School, East Butler Primary School, Clarkson Primary School, Merriwa Primary School and Somerly Primary School, helping to provide nutritious meals and support to students in need.
In 2025, the program continued to grow in both impact and enthusiasm. Throughout the year, our volunteers made and donated an incredible 3,925 sandwiches and raised $589.82 for Eat Up Australia.
Now in its third year, Cub Sandwiches has become a proud St James’ tradition and a shining example of community spirit in action. With 1 in 5 children going to school hungry, the efforts of the School community have helped ensure children across our local area have received healthy meals and the care they deserve.
Since it began, St James’ has delivered more than 12,000 sandwiches across 85 deliveries which is an outstanding achievement made possible by the generosity and teamwork of our Orange Army.
Every sandwich made is a step toward a better future for local children who rely on the support. St James’ looks forward to spreading even more kindness again in 2026.
