Burrito Project
i'm sitting at home this morning, working remotely, because my bathtub is filling up with something that doesn't look like bathwater. it looks like a prop tank from Ghostbusters, actually. anyway, working from home allows me to sit down and eat breakfast for a long time, which I enjoy. this morning I finished reading this month's Bicycling Magazine and saw an article on the LA Burrito Project.
LABP is was created by cyclists in Los Angeles and as the name states, consists of a bunch of riders getting together to make a ton of burritos, fill their messenger bags, and head to Skid Row to distribute food to the hungry. Brilliant. the project has been replicated in other cities, even Damascus, Syria.
i dig their mission:
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.
not only does the LABP actively engage in the betterment of its own community, it's providing an interaction, not just a donation. also notable is the LABP's open-source structure, which encourages new projects to start up across the country. i think it's time for a KCBP.
