Before Philando Castile became a household name after being fatally shot by police at a traffic stop in 2016, he was known for helping students who could not afford lunch at the school where he worked.
Castile, who was a cafeteria supervisor at J.J. Hill Montessori Magnet School in St. Paul, Minnesota, used to memorize kids' names and their food allergies, and often pay for their lunches out of his own pocket.
