His simple routine made him the subject of mild teasing, but he never complained. When he quit, a colleague helping him clean out his desk discovered a bundle of children\u2019s drawings filled with hearts, thank-you notes, and depictions of a man handing out sandwiches.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2388584177550957\" data-ad-slot=\"2551225499\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"filled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_1_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"401\" data-end=\"720\">Curious, the coworker later visited the West End Library, where Paul had invited him to stop by. There, he found Paul distributing brown paper lunch sacks to a line of children in need. The sandwiches he made for himself each morning weren\u2019t just his meals\u2014they were practice for the ones he prepared for hungry kids.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1742767\" data-uid=\"1098d\">\n<div id=\"mgw1742767_1098d\">\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"446aabb1-4e6b-11f1-92e9-c4cbe1e8d87e\" class=\"mgline teaser-26893234 type-w\" data-i=\"_QuGwZvqhB-fLmmV3kFt13zctANsbhj-AgeM6aGNJY5wehYrJjlGV25N08d08ebeJj_jXFz6r3GUBXUxCd4i0EueZ5l-sDG24_UE24VUWxHdMf5_gULpPbEgnka9gF4N\" data-observing-start=\"1778635809760\" data-observing-time=\"1151\" data-showed=\"1\">\n<div class=\"image-with-text\">\n<div class=\"mcimg\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"1078\">Paul explained that he grew up in foster care and often went without food. Making sandwiches for the children wasn\u2019t charity for him; it was a way to heal and to ensure others didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2388584177550957\" data-ad-slot=\"3209904303\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_2_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1355\">When Paul suddenly collapsed from exhaustion, the coworker\u2014his emergency contact\u2014took over sandwich duty while he recovered. What began as a solo effort grew into a workplace tradition called \u201cSandwich Fridays,\u201d where employees came together to make food for those in need.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1686\">Upon recovering, Paul didn\u2019t return to his old job.
