Originally an illegal immigrant, Jorge is the founder of the An Angel in Queens Foundation, a non-profit organization that delivers free home-cooked meals to the poor in Queens, New York.

In 2004, Muñoz began his labor of Love, initially collecting food from local businesses and handing out meals to underprivileged people three nights a week. As time passed by, his mother and sister and some friends joined him in his endeavor, and he began offering food to the needy on a daily basis — dinner seven nights a week and breakfast every Sunday. Jorge invests over half of his salary as a school bus driver to support his activities.

Since starting this humbling work, it is estimated that Munoz has fed well over 150,000 meals to the hungry people in his community.

“I know these people are waiting for me, and I am concerned about them. You have to see their smiles, man. That’s the way I get paid.” ~ Jorge Munoz
