How you can help!
All you need is a desire to make a meaningful impact in the community and you can join the Burrito Brigade team! Whether you want to show up on the south side to make burritos, ride bikes around the city passing out burritos, or make a donation to support our mission, there are lots of ways you can get involved!!
Make Burritos!
Once a month on a Sunday, volunteers meet at Morgan Park Presbyterian Church at 2017 W 110th Place, in Morgan Park on the south side of Chicago to prepare over 500 burritos for distribution. We are always in need of help preparing, cooking, and packaging burritos for distribution. Learn more ways to help below and follow our Facebook page.
Ride Bikes!
From the perfect days of summer to the frigid months of winter, the Burrito Brigade Bike Team is in the streets passing out burritos. We are always welcoming cyclists that enjoy riding around the city delivering smiles and burritos to hungry Chicagoans. All you need is a bike to join the fun! Learn more and sign up on Eventbrite and check out @cyclingxsolidarity on IG for more info!
