Paul explained that he grew up in foster care and often went without food. Making sandwiches for the children wasn’t charity for him; it was a way to heal and to ensure others didn’t feel the same hunger and invisibility he once knew. His quiet dedication changed the perspective of his coworker, who soon joined him to help prepare and distribute meals.
When Paul suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, the coworker—his emergency contact—took over sandwich duty while he recovered. What began as a solo effort grew into a workplace tradition called “Sandwich Fridays,” where employees came together to make food for those in need.
Upon recovering, Paul didn’t return to his old job. Instead, he founded a nonprofit called One Meal Ahead, inspired by his foster father’s advice: “You don’t need a full plan, kid. Just be one meal ahead of the worst day.” His quiet mission continued, helping countless children and inspiring others to act with compassion.
Paul’s story became a reminder that heroism often looks ordinary. Sometimes, it’s just a person with a brown jacket, a paper bag, and a kind heart.
