The KC Burrito Project is a group of friends who meet monthly to commune with one another and share quality food with the disenfranchised people of downtown Kansas City & surrounding areas.
The project is propelled forward by the individuals involved and by the people we feed. The project itself is a collective. Purchasing, production, and distribution of all food are a group effort. Each member has a personal connection to the project and to the people we share dinner with every month.
KCBP is an ever changing experience. We are not the solution or a band-aid to the homeless problem here in Kansas City. KCBP is a starting point, a new perspective on community and personal responsibility. As children we were taught to share, a lesson that has never had any boundaries or social and economic guide lines. Childhood lessons have shaped the way KCBP looks at community. As a society we have collectively allowed ourselves to look away when our eyes become uncomfortable with what they see.
KCBP has manifested into a monthly gathering. We are a message of hope for the population of downtown that have been neglected and ignored. Despite the reasons for these people's displacement, the project offers an extended 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. The project is inspiring for us and the people we feed.
Join us monthly as we take on the challenge of eliminating hunger & poverty in the Kansas City area.
