Jose, Your words are powerful and true.I have always shared what food even as a senior on fixed income snap of only $40 per month knowing so many have less. Disasters of such magnitude everywhere. Unnecessary wars and displacement .Everyone has a right to eat regardless. We can do our part. Serve them with love, hope and encouragement one plate at a time.We are all family. We follow your words and examples to make the world a better place. You are the best .God bless us all.

No matter how red the map looked, we have to remember that 47% voted for integrity, unity and morality. This is not the America we live.

I knew on Tuesday that, whatever happened with the election, I would want to make lunches to give away on the Lower East Side of NYC on Wednesday. I am a chef and feeding people is in my blood. The election results were a blow, but doing a small, positive thing helped my spirit. It helped several people that day. We need to hold onto what is important. We need the community of feeding, being fed, and eating together. We need each other.

I have had the great good pleasure of meeting Chef Andres. His presence reminded me that bhodisaatvas walk among us. To feed a hungry child is an act of kindness and generosity. To feed a million is the act of a saint.

Chef, coming from a multi-ethnical family with backgrounds in several countries and cultures the meaning of longer tables is something I cherish a great deal. I have been following your career and your part in WCK and you need to be very proud of everything you do and you have accomplished. Gracias por todo lo que hace por la humanidad de un Puertorriqueño que vio todo lo que usted y su gente hicieron durante María y después.
