Faculty, staff, family members, students and alumni are invited to join the Office of Campus Ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project on Tuesday, June 27 and Tuesday, July 25.

The Burrito Project is a ministry of hospitality and provides homemade burritos to the marginalized and homeless population in downtown Buffalo. This ministry serves some of God’s most vulnerable and forgotten children.

Burritos will be prepared in the kitchen located in the undercroft of Christ the King Chapel from 6:15 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. From 7:15 p.m. – 8:45 p.m., the group will walk a four-mile route and serve burritos, snacks and cold drinks. A college van follows the team as we walk.  (Please note time change-we ask you to come to the Undercroft at 6:15pm and not at 6:00 pm as this time frame works best to serve those in need.)

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

To sign-up, email Joe Van Volkenburg at vanvolkj@canisius.edu with your name and cell number.

The inaugural Urban Fruits & Veggies farmers market at Canisius was a big success!  The mobile farmers market rolled onto the Canisius campus this past Monday and sold out within an hour.  But don’t worry!  Increased inventory for next Monday’s market will ensure plenty of fruits and veggies for all.

The market sets up shop in the Bagen parking lot each Monday from 2:00 – 4:30 p.m. through October 16.  Please note Urban Fruits & Veggies will not be on campus July 3, September 4 and October 9 since the college is closed on those dates.

Urban Fruits & Veggies accepts cash, credit and debit cards and is open to anyone who wishes to purchase fresh produce or fruit.
