José Andrés Handed Out Free Food to Student Protesters at the March for Our Lives

Chef José Andrés' famous compassion strikes again.

By Alesandra Dubin

Wherever there is a need — even a need to uplift a righteous crowd — chef José Andrés is there. He's fed millions of meals to storm victims in Puerto Rico, and before that he was on the scene to feed storm victims in Haiti. His incredible philanthropic efforts even earned him a spot on the Oscars' stage. And his latest work of food activism came just this weekend and on the mainland, where José Andrés handed out free food to student protesters at the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C
