Participate in the Burrito Project

Faculty, staff and their family members are invited to join campus ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project on Tuesday, June 23 and Tuesday, July 28.

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 van follows the team as we walk).

Katie Martoche, President John J. Hurley, Millie Hurley and Kathleen Delaney, reference librarian and archivist, prepare burritos..

You may choose to help prepare the burritos, prepare and serve or just serve. Most people do both.

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.

To sign-up, simply email Joe Van Volkenburg at vanvolkj@canisius.edu. Please include name, email and cell number. Thank you for your consideration.
