Burrito Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burrito Project is an organization which helps feed the hungry and homeless in cities around the world. The organization encourages people "to get together with friends and build burritos to take to the streets". Anyone can start a Burrio Project and the organization encourages everyone to help feed the hungry in their local communities.

In December 2006, The Burrito Project won the Myspace Impact Award for poverty relief.[1]

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 no Burrito 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.
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.
Each branch of Burrito Project in each city is independent of each other. We hope to inspire other burrito project chapters to grow organically.
