"Founded by chef José Andrés to feed people during disasters — including the COVID-19 pandemic — this organization treats food as a fast, dignity-restoring way to rebuild lives and communities, encapsulated in Andrés’s line that “a plate of food is a plate of hope.” Andrés plans to channel his $100 million award into expanding the group's work beyond immediate hurricane response toward larger, systemic challenges in hunger and disaster relief. The organization aims to “revolutionize disaster and hunger relief” by standing alongside affected communities with respect rather than pity, and supporters expect the funds to be used for both immediate feeding efforts and bolder, longer-term solutions." - Madeleine Davies
