On Holy Thursday in 2018, residents, visitors and people displaced by the previous year's El Niño disaster formed a long early-morning queue in Catacaos, northern Peru, for the traditional seven dishes. A house equipped with eighty tables served food and drink to more than 3,000 people, with over fifty helping to cook.

This was not a purchase line. The meal recalled the Last Supper and emphasized sharing with people in need. To make hospitality on that scale possible, a street and private home became a temporary dining hall, and a household doorway became the distribution point for a community.
