burrito project

The Buffalo Burrito Project is meeting Tuesday, June 20th at 6:00pm on St. Paul’s campus. Come and help make burritos to hand out downtown!

We’ll be preparing homemade bean and rice burritos and lunch bags to be delivered to the homeless, poor and working poor living on the streets of Buffalo. Our street team walks the streets of Buffalo, handing out food and coffee along with blankets, socks, gloves, hats, scarves and clothing to the homeless men, women and children we encounter. We do not
ask why a person is homeless or in need; we provide warm, nutritious food without judgment and with compassion and dignity, making eye contact, shaking hands, sharing hugs and sometimes sharing in a moment of prayer or blessing. Currently, we make and deliver 100 burritos and lunches. We are part of a national grass-roots movement of Burrito Projects around the country and around the world. Volunteers are welcome to donate needed ingredients, knit hats, scarves and gloves or donate socks,
work in the kitchen or volunteer on the streets. Volunteers in the kitchen can be of any age, including young children with a parent present. Street Volunteers can be mature teens (with a parent present) to seniors! (Sorry, young children are not able to volunteer on the street).
