Today at the Mission
Real meals. Real volunteers. Real Newark. Today's service in pictures — published the same day, never staged for the camera.
2026-05-11 — Lunch Service
Photos auto-populate once the field-ops team uploads via the ops console. Until the first upload of the day this slot shows yesterday's closing frame so the page never looks empty.
Capture protocol: volunteer-photographer role only, consent posted at door, no identifying close-ups of guests without explicit written consent. House-meal and prep-line photos are always permitted.
