Faculty, Staff Invited To Serve With Campus Ministry

Faculty and staff are invited to join the Office of Campus Ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project (Homeless Ministry) on Tuesday, July 27 and August 24.

The Buffalo Burrito Project provides fresh home-made burritos to Buffalo’s poor and homeless population in downtown Buffalo.  The group walks a four-mile route and serves between 80-120 burritos (a support vehicle follows the street team as they walk).  Campus Ministry has committed to serve three Tuesday evenings this summer, and needs help to prepare burritos and walk the route in downtown Buffalo.  This past academic year, Canisius students engaged weekly in the Buffalo Burrito Project.

To sign up and for more information on this initiative, click here or contact Joe Van Volkenburg, assistant to the director of campus ministry at Ext. 2875 or vanvolkj@canisius.edu.
