????沿著公路走了大概20個(gè)街區(qū)后,，一個(gè)名叫莎倫女士的中年黑人婦女已經(jīng)在一家“超級干凈自助干洗店”（Super Clean Laundromat）停車場的帆布篷下面支起了桌子,。一輛在市中心常見的那種午餐車正在停車場的另一端派發(fā)三明治,。莎倫女士也開始分發(fā)我們的三明治，還讓我們把剩下的湯放到桌子的一角,。它們正在迅速變涼,。

????這時(shí)已經(jīng)快到傍晚，日光和白天那種相對的安全感也在漸漸退去,。我們還剩200個(gè)三明治,，不知道該送到哪里去。就在我們卸貨的時(shí)候,，有三個(gè)留著胡子的男人突然搬著幾箱水,，從一輛老款的道奇卡拉萬里鉆出來，身上用膠帶貼著“占領(lǐng)桑迪”的標(biāo)簽,。我追上那輛車,，拍他們的車窗問他們是否用得上200多個(gè)三明治。一個(gè)叫諾亞的男人說：“當(dāng)然了,，我們可以帶上,，分發(fā)出去?！?/p>

????回到教堂后,，我和安迪坐在一起，討論他的救災(zāi)活動(dòng)的未來,。這時(shí)最后一批食物也已經(jīng)分發(fā)出去了,，米特神父也走了進(jìn)來，確保安迪知道怎樣鎖門,。安迪告訴我,，他在“9?11”事件后也做過類似的事，也就是給需要的人做飯,?！安贿^當(dāng)時(shí)有點(diǎn)不一樣，那時(shí)也沒有Facebook和Twitter——當(dāng)時(shí)我們根本沒法把事情做得像今天這樣大,?！?/p>

????下一步會(huì)怎樣？隨著他們的招牌打了出去,，更多的人得知“桑迪颶風(fēng)救災(zāi)廚房”的存在,，一車車的物資還在源源不斷地趕來。不過終有一天,，安迪得回去工作,，薩拉也得回去繼續(xù)自己的學(xué)業(yè)。另外，在山姆和莎倫女士生活的那一帶駐扎的企業(yè),，恐怕在相當(dāng)長的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)還不會(huì)回來,。安迪的慈善組織正在籌劃一頓盛大的感恩節(jié)大餐，而且只要捐贈(zèng)不斷,，志愿者不斷,，他們的熱情不斷，他們希望繼續(xù)在周四和周五向?yàn)?zāi)民提供食物,。

????About 20 blocks down the road, a middle-aged African American woman named Ms. Sharon had set up a table beneath a tarp in the parking lot of the Super Clean Laundromat. A food truck more frequently seen feeding the midtown lunch crowd was distributing sandwiches on the other side of the lot, so Ms. Sharon passed on our sandwiches and pointed to a small section of the table to unload the remainder of our rapidly cooling soup.

????It was late afternoon, and the light, with its relative safety, was fading. We still had 200 sandwiches and no idea where to take them. As we unloaded, three bearded men with the signature "Occupy Sandy" duct tape name tags spilled out of an old Dodge caravan with cases of water. I chased after the car and rapped on the window to ask if the guys could use 200 or so sandwiches. "Sure," a guy called Noah replied. "We'll take them. We can distribute them."

????Later, back at the church, I sat down with Andy to talk about the future of his relief efforts. The last food dispatch had left for the day, and Pastor Daniel Meeter had checked in to make sure he knew how to lock up. Andy had done a similar thing after 9/11, he told me—helped with some cooking for people who needed it. "It was different then. That was before Facebook and Twitter—there's no way we could have done anything this massive."

????What happens next? Trucks of supplies are still arriving as more people learn about the Hurricane Sandy Relief Kitchen, as they have now branded their effort. But Andy must return to work at some point; Sara must return to her studies. Meanwhile, the businesses will not come back in the neighborhoods Sam and Ms. Sharon serve for a long time—if ever. The group had a large Thanksgiving meal planned, and they hope to continue offering meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for as long as the donations and the volunteers and the need and, of course, their energy, holds.
