The Burrito Project

The mission of Burrito Project is to provide people with the means to become active members in their community. It is a way for people to bridge a gap between the fed and the hungry. Burrito Project is in no way shape or form affiliated with any religious or political organization; we are non-fame and a non-personal recognition group (hence the bandannas for pictures). There is noBurrito Project head quarters or leader nor a need for one.

The Project is simply providing a tool to show how fun, easy, inexpensive, and rewarding feeding hungry people can be. As children we were taught to share. This was a lesson that never limited whom we should share with. There were no social or economic guidelines. Childhood lessons have shaped the way Burrito Project looks at our communities.

The Project is simply providing a tool to show how fun, easy, inexpensive, and rewarding feeding hungry people can be and, more universally, how it feels to know that you're making a difference.

The Project is a guideline for serving people in your community. The homeless and hungry are people. They are our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and parents. The Project is a respectful extension of our collective dinner table. A way to recognize people who through out the day are often ignored, and even demonized. The Project recognizes the problematic nature of our nation's and world's homeless situation. The project is not a solution, it is a step by step, DIY outline for a way to get involved. The Project is there for you to expand.

The Project is respectful and friendly. Despite the reasons for these people’s displacement, the project extends a free burrito without judgment. There is no sermon or lecture. We offer substance in the form of a handshake, eye contact, warm food, and even some hugs.

Each branch of Burrito Project in each city is independent of each other. We hope to inspire other burrito project chapters to grow organically.

Respect,
Burrito Project

(please put in the subject line “Burrito Project”)

PS: This project is not limited to just burritos. For example we can go into bakeries where they usually throw away their bread at the end of the day. It is still fresh and we can use it to make sandwiches such as PB&J’s. Another suggestion is that we can go into our local diners and restaurants and ask for any leftover food that is still good, but will be thrown out anyway.
