Day 67: Extended "Family"

Jorge Munoz is giving, out of the little that he has, to his extended "family."  For five or more years, he has cooked and delivered 70,000+ meals to men and women hungry on the streets.  His day job is working as a bus driver, and one day he saw food being thrown out at a food factory.  He requested to take that food, and handed it out a group of 8 men he saw sitting at the subway station.  And he hasn't stopped since.  With the assistance of his family, they create home-cooked meals with often donated food, and deliver it to the same subway station each night at 9:30.  But it is no longer just 8 men.  "You know somebody who's got problems to eat, you tell them to come here.  I've got free food for them."  Twenty-four, sixty, ninety, one hundred and thirty to one hundred and forty.  Each year, the word spreads.  And as the economy became harder, the numbers grow.  And the Munoz family continues to give these meals to their "family" on the street.  Read here the New York Times article that was written about Jorge.
