Dramise Moreau works long hours into the night in her tiny kitchen every Friday night, working endlessly to feed the hungry. She is a 60-year-old widow that has single handedly cooked over 1,000 meals a week since the pandemic has started, all out of love for very little compensation. Her days are long and hard, as she works part-time as a janitor at a technical school. Growing up in Haiti, she often stole food from her parent’s pantry to give to those in need – even though they had very little food themselves.

Decades later, she is keeping that tradition alive. She borrows the Notre Dame d’Haiti Catholic Church truck to buy groceries, which is funded by donations. All kinds of cultures attend the feeding every Saturday, even coming in late begging for food. Moreau always gives them food, because it hurts her to leave people hungry. Moreau also sends food back to her little village in Haiti, despite her meager salary. She takes care of everyone, just out of the kindness of her heart. 

“I can keep all the money for myself and never give anyone a penny,” she said. “But if you give from your heart and never think about yourself, God will provide for you every day.” 

Although she lives an exhausting and demanding life, she stays fueled by her faith.
