After hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, a cook named Jose Andres wanted to find a way to help the people. With $10,000 of his own money and some credit cards he traveled to Puerto Rico and found a kitchen, bought supplies, and found volunteers to help serve. On his first day, he served more than 1,000 meals. Later on with some private donations and government funding Andres and the non profit he founded, World Central Kitchen, produced more than 150,000 meals per day from 26 different kitchens in Puerto Rico. Since then his team has prepared more than 3.7 million meals outpacing the Red Cross and Salvation Army. World Central Kitchen travels to places affected by natural disasters and provides meals. This a perfect example of a redemptive entrepreneur. Jose Andres used something he was good to start a nonprofit that helps those hurt by disasters.
