People line up outside The Salvation Army Brooklyn Sunset Park Corps Community Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., during lunchtime. The center’s soup kitchen opens at noon Tuesday to Thursday and serves hot meals to 70–90 people a day. A food pantry is available by appointment Tuesday to Friday and serves 30–35 families. Lieutenant Katia Espejo calls it “the heart of the corps.” The soup kitchen serves mostly Asian and Latino clients, including recent refugees from Venezuela. “There are a lot of people in need,” Espejo said. “It makes people happy and it means a lot to them to have these meals.” In the United States alone, The Salvation Army helped 31 million people and provided 225 million meals last year.
