No, it’s not craziness. It’s kindness. And isn’t it amazing how a little selfless kindness can grow and spread through a community, and it all starts with the 17 freezers in Allan Law’s living room. Why he needs them, what he keeps in them and how it sparked a community to kindness is an amazing story.
When Allan Law was 11 or 12, he found his true calling. He believed that he was born for the sole purpose of helping others.
Today, he’s known to locals in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the “Sandwich Man” because he spends his nights on the streets of Minneapolis delivering goods to those in need. After working as a teacher for 16 years, Allan chose to retire and soon after began driving a minivan around town. His minivan is adorned with the number 363, and no, it doesn’t represent the number of days he works. Instead, it represents the number of days in the year that people don’t think about the homeless.
Allan is on a personal mission to change that, and using 17 freezers in his living room to store his sandwiches, he’s well on his way.
Fortunately, the community is supporting Allan’s work. Last year, 800 church, civic, and business groups offered to help and deliver his good. Here at Shareably, we absolutely love the power of selflessness, and Allan is living proof.
Please SHARE the “Sandwich Man’s” work with others. Let’s help spread the word and give him the recognition he deserves.
