Faculty, staff and their family members are invited to join campus ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project on Tuesday, June 24 and Tuesday, July 22.
The Burrito Project provides home-made burritos to the poor and homeless population in downtown Buffalo. This outreach ministry serves some of most vulnerable and forgotten members of our society.
Burritos will be prepared in our kitchen from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
From 7:00-8:30 p.m. the group will walk a four-mile route and serve about 80 burritos, snacks and cold drinks. (A campus ministry van follows the team as we walk).
You may choose to help prepare the burritos, prepare and serve or just serve. Most people do both.
To sign-up, simply email Joe Van Volkenburg, vanvolkj@canisius.edu. Please include name, email and cell number.
