During COVID-19 we ask that if you are at risk or have someone in your home with a fever or symptoms, please stay home. If you are a new volunteer, please wait to volunteer. We will be taking extra safety precautions and running a smaller crew of regulars. Please RSVP.
We are volunteer-run and we can always use a few more helping hands. We have two volunteer activities each week. We meet every Sunday to make about 500-600 burritos. We meet every Saturday to make 300-350 BBQ tempeh burritos. Meals are distributed to hungry people in the Eugene-Springfield area.

For either Brigade, please wear closed toe shoes, and if participating in food preparation, bring a hair tie if you have long hair. If volunteering for distribution, please wear seasonally appropriate clothing (i.e: rain gear).
If you would like to be invited weekly to Burrito Brigade events, join the Eugene Burrito Brigade on Facebook.
Where do we distribute meals?
During COVID-19 we have altered our distribution to just include important drops such as Service center on Hwy 99/Dusk to Dawn, White Bird, Family Annex/First Place Family Center, and Network Charter, with that much less hand to hand contact.:
If you know of a service agency open on Saturday or Sunday that would like us to drop off meals, please email us at [email protected]
Don’t have time to volunteer? There are still plenty of ways to help! Check it out here.

Hi Christi
We have lots of tasks for many ages. We have found children over 7 have an easier time. We do preparation(chopping and washing veggies)from 11-1,1-2 rolling burritos and 2-3 distribution.
Looking forward to meeting you
Best,
Jen

Is there an age limit to participate without a parent chaperone?
February 7, 2019 at 10:35 pm
Hi Ava, it kind of depends on the situation. We have had parents drop off before and then check in with us. We have also had high school students that come for community service without parents. What age?
Thank you
Jen
