The Burrito Project began over a year and a half ago after reading an article in “Bicycling Magazine”. The BP was started by a group of bicycle messengers in Los Angeles that wanted to serve the people on Skidrow.
I thought it would be great to do a service project on my birthday – so I sent out an e-mail to my friends and the rest is history.
