A good Samaritan in New York has 120 dinner guests -- every night

Bruce Watson
Aug 5th 2009 at 1:00PM

Toan Lam, founder of GoInspireGo.com, recently wrote about Jorge Munoz, a bus driver who provides the homeless in his neighborhood in Queens, New York, with 120 to 140 meals every night. Over the past four years, Munoz and his family's personal outreach program has prepared an estimated 70,000 dinners.

Munoz funds this program by himself, earmarking roughly half of his $700-per-week paycheck for his unpaid "second job" of preparing food for strangers. In the course of his crusade, he has broken his stove and is using his sister's kitchen to keep up his strict delivery schedule.

Wow, thank you SO MUCH for posting this story!!!!!!!!!

Mere words can NOT express how inspirational, encouraging and just plain wonderful reading about
this bus driver, Jorge Munoz is to me.

I wonder if he accepts donations? MAN, this brother knows what it truly is all about
and gives me so much HOPE and courage to do more for strangers and people in general too. Lastly, I also appreciate Toan Lam that wrote the article.

WOW...I LOVE IT!

I think he is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this story.

I found a link for donations on The Huffington post site. It's below.

Quote:

If you can't think of what you can do, then please make a small donation to www.AnAngelInQueens.org - someone saw Munoz's good deed and helped him file for papers to start a non-profit. Still he has to use his own money to feed people in his community. You can also make a donation to www.GoInspireGo.com. For now, Be good to each other... and think what can you do?
