When you hear the word \"hero\",you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi,who seen this life working for his country. But there are also many everyday heroes--they may not make any great achievements,but they do what they can to help make a difference to people's lives.Everyday heroes are normal people who are making the world a better place. One such person is Robert Lee.
Lee grew up in New York City.As he lived in a poor family,he learned from a young age the importance of saving food. When he was in college,he was part of a student group that raised leftover(剩余的)food for the homeless. This experience made him realize how serious the problem of food waste actually was.
After graduating from New York University,Lee and a college friend created a nonprofit(非盈利的)organization called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants and offer it to homeless shelters(庇护处)and food kitchens.
The process is simple.Using an app developed by Lee and his team,restaurants report how much leftover food they have each
day,and then volunteers collect the food from these
restaurants and deliver(投递)it to homeless shelters and food kitchens.In the end,the food will be delivered to those in need.Lee believes this is a very good way of delivery.
So far,Lee and his team have successfully delivered over 150,000 kilograms of food,serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown how we can take small action to improve the lives of people around us.But Lee says that his work is far from over,\"It's just the beginning. With more restaurants,who knows how much more we can do? \"
