'She lost a friend [and] she was there like one more,' Andrés, 55, told People of how it felt to have Garner join him in bringing meals to families affected by the fires and first responders. He continued: 'It feels like she was my friend since childhood — and we just met, we barely met — and there she was. I did not have to tell her what to do, because she'll always find something to do on her own.'.

The Spanish-American restaurateur, who was awarded a National Humanities Medal from the White House for his work with World Central Kitchen, also described how the actress gave 'hugs to so many people' while distributing food to those in need. 'I think that's almost like a psychology worry that I don't think anybody realizes, but that's so deep and so important,' Andrés noted.
