Every evening, the homeless, the unemployed and the forgotten await the “Angel of Queens” to visit them in his white pickup truck filled with food, hot chocolate and coffee. Sound crazy? It’s not. The angel is Jorge Munoz and for more than four years, Munoz and his family have been feeding those in need seven nights a week, 365 days a year.

“Ill help anyone who needs to eat. Just line up”, Munoz says

Munoz began his unconventional meal program -- now his nonprofit, An Angel in Queens -- in the summer of 2004. Jorge’s friends mentioned to him told him about large amounts of food being thrown away at their jobs. At the beginning, he collected leftovers from local businesses and handed out brown bag lunches to the impoverished several evenings a week. Within a few months, Munoz and his mother were preparing 20 home-cooked meals daily.

Word of his mobile soup kitchen spread, and people of all backgrounds and status now join the largely-Hispanic crowd surrounding his truck -- Egyptians, Chinese, Ethiopians, South Asians, white and blacks. Jorge and his family serve up to about 140 meals per evening.

"If I don't go, I'm going to feel bad," he says. "I know they're going to be waiting for me."

For many, this is the only meal they get during the day.

Jorge estimates that food and gas cost approximately $400 to 450 a week; he and his family fund the operation through their savings and his weekly $700 paycheck.

Asked why he spends so much time to help people he doesn't know, he answers,

"I have a stable job, my mom, my family, a house... everything I want, I have. And these guys don’t. So I just think, 'OK, I have the food.' At least for today they're going to have a meal to eat."

Sometimes, angels do walk the earth. Way to go Jorge.
