Volunteer

We are 100% 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.

While volunteers are welcome to just show up, we prefer that you RSVP to a Burrito Brigade event on our Facebook page at Eugene Burrito Brigade. If you have questions or if you’re bringing more than five people, please email us at EugeneBurritoBrigade@gmail.com.

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.
