Tribal Huk's president Jamie Pink said the gang is now feeding more children since they launched the Kai 4 the Future Foundation.

The Tribal Huk have added 10 more schools to their sandwich roster, but the gang's president says there are still more hungry children they need to feed.

Waikato's Tribal Huk gang, dubbed the sandwich gang, have been making sandwiches for hungry children, free of charge, for four years.

Earlier this month, the gang, led by president Jamie Pink, launched "Kai 4 the Future Foundation" to take their sandwich plan nationwide.

MIKE SCOTT/Waikato Times Waikato gang the Tribal Huks, led by president Jamie Pink, are on a mission to feed the regions hungry school kids.

The foundation is set up to collect money to purchase food for hungry children across the country.

For transparency and legitimacy he has brought on board "good people" to be signatories for the foundation's accounts.

So far the gang have made an extra $2500 on top of the $20,000 it put in to kickstart the fund.

He said there have been difficulties with people trying to donate to the account without success.

"If you've had a bit of trouble donating, we are sorry. You can make a donation through any Westpac branch now, so please keep persevering with us."

The gang was supplying sandwiches to 31 schools from Hamilton to Rangiriri.

That total has increased to 41, with a further 10 on the waiting list.

"Growth is happening. Progress is definitely happening, which is excellent," Pink said.

"But there's so much more to do, so many little kiddies to reach. But I think it's a good start."

The gang now supplies sandwiches to more primary, high schools and kindergartens in Hamilton.

Hamilton's Crawshaw Primary School got their first deliver of delicious sandwiches on Wednesday.

Principal Jillian Littlewood described the Tribal Huk's work as "great" and was pleased to have extra lunches for children who didn't have any at school.

Pink is humbled by the public response to the campaign which challenges people around New Zealand to donate just a little toward building a sandwich empire for all school children in need.

"Thank you to all the people that have donated. It means a lot."

Since the Fairfax Media story on the gang's initiative in early August, Pink has received calls from people in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Tokoroa, who are interested in starting up a sandwich gang in their areas.

"Once we are set up properly we can distribute it through the community houses around the country."

For now the Tribal Huk is putting a call out for volunteers wanting to help with the sandwich making.

"We've got a lady in Frankton, that's going to start over there now and we are going to send the food over in bulk. That will take care of the Frankton schools, but we need a lot more sandwich makers ... we need the volunteers, it's important."
