A nonprofit group serving East County is connecting the community through food.

Working Wonders, an organization dedicated to serving adults with intellectual disabilities, has launched a new program to further immerse its clients in the community’s school districts: a sandwich delivery service. Each Friday, the group takes lunch orders from administration and teachers of the Brentwood Union and Liberty Union High school districts and relays them to Dino’s Sandwich Shop before taking them to staff.

“We’re really excited about this program,” said Matt Schwab, Working Wonders board president. “(The schools) are very appreciative … We generally meet with the administrator and teachers and interact as best we can. Our clients all love it. They’re very service-oriented people – they all love to serve – it brings them great joy to participate in schools they may have attended previously.”
