Rolling with Heart: Join First UU's Burrito Project

• Community service is best served warm—and wrapped in a tortilla. On the 4th Tuesday of every month, the Common Room at First UU San Diego transforms into a hub of action for the Burrito Project. This grassroots initiative is a direct way to support our unsheltered neighbors in San Diego through nutritious food and human connection.
  Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to commit to the whole evening, there is a seat at the table for you.
  
  

The Game Plan: What to Expect

• The evening is split into two phases. You are welcome to join for the assembly, the distribution, or the entire journey.
• 4:00 PM – The Assembly: We meet in the Common Room to get to work. This is a high-energy "assembly line" where we scoop beans, rice, and corn into warm tortillas, wrap them up, and pair them with cold water for distribution.
• 5:00 PM – The Distribution: Once the kitchen is clean, we load up the van and caravan downtown. We hit the streets to hand out the meals directly to those who need them most.
• 7:00 PM – The Return: We wrap up our distribution and head back to the Hillcrest campus, usually arriving by 7:00 PM at the latest.
• Location: First UU San Diego (Common Room)
  298 W Arbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92103

​A Note for Families
​The Burrito Project is a family-friendly event. We believe it’s never too early to learn the value of giving back. Children are more than welcome to participate under the direct supervision of a guardian. It’s a tangible, hands-on way for kids to see the immediate impact of kindness.

Many hands make light work—and many burritos.

Ready to Help?
To ensure we have enough supplies (and enough hands!), please RSVP to our Youth and Young Adult Coordinator.
