Serve Buffalo’s Poor, Homeless Population With Campus Ministry, Buffalo Burrito Project

Faculty and staff are invited to join Campus Ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project on Tuesday, June 28 and Tuesday, July 26.

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 cover two Tuesday evenings with faculty/staff 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.
