'Food cannot wait,' said Andrés. 'People must eat today, not next week, not next month.'
In the days leading up to any storm, people tend to stock up on food and supplies can be hard to find at grocery stores, so Al said he was impressed Andrés was able to scrounge up so much fresh food, especially fruit, beforehand.
"Fruit is not gonna be an issue for us for the next week. Why? Because you look for the local businesses, you look for the people that they are already waiting for you. You cannot call them, you cannot order online, you have to go to them," Andrés explained.
