    A bakery in New York City’s Chinatown has been giving out free meals daily since April 2020. That’s when Patrick Mock, who manages the 46 Mott Bakery, started organising food deliveries to help the needy in a community devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Mock and his group of volunteers have distributed more than 70,000 meals in the year since. As they marked the first anniversary of the programme on April 23 by handing out 500 free meals, Mock reflected on how the pandemic has changed him personally as well as how it has reshaped his neighbourhood.

    70,000 free meals given to others, most likely at his own expense.
    That is admirable, not just because he would on average have to make hundreds a day, but because he was willing to give them all out at no charge to the recipients.

There's always going to be a few that are going just to get a free meal, but that doesn't mean because of that you ignore those that are in need. He also goes to the homeless and passes out meals for them. If you want to see it for yourself, you can volunteer and help pass out meals too.
