Last month twenty members of the Canisius community joined this effort. They included faculty/staff, students and alumni and their families. Erin Gaddi '14, Father Patrick Lynch, S.J. and Dr. Terri Mangione are pictured along with several students.
Faculty, staff and their family members are invited to join campus ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project next Tuesday, July 22. Students largely support the effort during the academic year but now that school’s out, additional volunteers are needed for this outreach ministry.
The Burrito Project provides home-made burritos to the poor and homeless population in downtown Buffalo. This outreach ministry serves some of God’s most vulnerable and forgotten children in our society.
Burritos will be prepared in our kitchen from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
From 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. the group will walk a four-mile route and serve about 80 burritos, snacks and cold drinks. (A campus ministry support 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.
