The award reflects Michael’s under-the-radar support of the organization, which provides free meals to people living with illness.

His loyal support included leaving a check for $25,000 on the charity’s doorstep in 1993, right as they were struggling to make ends meet after an influx of AIDS patients turned to Project Angel Food for help.
