Xavier Mission starts preparing for its weekly soup kitchen on Sundays at 6 a.m. The chef will make her entrance, followed in waves by her crew, a leadership team and an army of over 100 volunteers. It will be all hands on deck chopping lettuce, rolling up silverware and washing takeout containers until the lunch rush hits a little after midday.

Then, the mission will dole out 1,500 to 2,000 to people in need that come in from not only Manhattan, but Queens, Brooklyn and beyond.

“It’s a lot of moving parts,” Christina Bowman, director of outreach for the mission, said in an interview with the Eagle.
