Subway celebrated National Sandwich Day on Nov. 3 in a big way, according to a press release. The company's first ever #GoodDeedFeed event on National Sandwich Day prompted huge numbers of Americans to help Feeding America end hunger.

"We are incredibly grateful for Subway restaurants and guests for supporting the #GoodDeedFeed on National Sandwich Day," Diana Aviv, CEO of Feeding America, said in the release. "The historic support of this campaign and resulting generous donation will go a long way in helping people in need in communities across the country."

The following day, Subway donated 11 million meals to Feeding America, the largest single day donation ever, according to the release.

"We want to thank our thousands of restaurant owners and millions of guests for enthusiastically coming together to help Feed America," Suzanne Greco, Subway's president and CEO, said in the release. "Together, our seemingly small steps have led to 11 million meals being donated to Feeding America to help our neighbors in need."
