National Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 to October 15   --Recognition of the contributions of Hispanic and Latin Americans to the heritage and culture of the United States--

Critically acclaimed chef José Andrés came to the United States from Spain in 1991 and began a long career of award-winning culinary innovation. After the tragic 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Andrés formed the World Central Kitchen (WCK), an organization that provides hot meals to those affected by natural disasters. After Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico in 2017, he gathered 19,000 volunteers to serve 3.5 million meals to distraught residents who had limited access to electricity, clean water, and food. In 2019, Andrés fed furloughed workers during a month-long government shutdown. https://www.guideposts.org/inspiration/inspiring-stories/hispanic-heritage-month- 14-inspiring-figures
