The Originals get a Day Off
For only the 4th time in 66 weeks, the original “Burrito Boys” had the Sunday off! In their place, the Girl Scouts came back to Long Island Mike’s Pizza to make and deliver 185 Egg & Cheese Burritos. They did a great job in the kitchen, but they were absolutely wonderful while delivering to a very appreciative crowd! Thank you Girl Scouts!
Front Page on the Union-Tribune!
Ever since our front page story on the San Diego Union-Tribune, there has been a tremendous outpouring of gently used paperback books being donated. On behalf of our street homeless friends, they asked us to extend a sincere and appreciative “THANK-YOU!”
Girl Scouts Help Out
Thank you to a wonderful group of Girl Scouts from Troop 5009 in Chula Vista who prepared & donated 100 Christmas Lunches and cards for our street homeless. You have helped us make them very happy!
A Little Organization
Last week when we arrived to a crowd of about 60 people waiting for hot breakfast burritos, there was a little too much pushing and shoving and the boys felt very uncomfortable. This morning when we got to the crowd, I spoke to the group first and they responded amazingly! We look forward to continuing our service indefinitely!
Long Island Mike’s Pizza
On Sunday Dec. 11, we joined our new partner Long Island Mike’s Pizza and began cooking in their kitchen. We look forward to preparing the breakfast burritos in our new HOME every Sunday! Thanks Long Island Mike’s Pizza!!!

Another Great Donation from Culinary Concepts!
On Sunday, Sept. 4 our friends at Culinary Concepts again donated all the items to help us in our efforts to feed the homless. Following a busy August which saw many of our boys and their families go on vacation, we never missed a Sunday! Our homeless friends kept us energized with their constant expressions of appreciation. They still love the fact that we are serving HOT food and also appreciate that we have gone to a larger 12″ tortilla in place of the 10″ we started with!

Great Donation from Culinary Concepts!
On Friday, July 15, our new friends at Culinary Concepts donated all the eggs, cheese, tortillas, and supplies to help feed up to 108 people. Hunger 2 Help is so appreciative for the contribution and our homeless friends continue to be such an appreciative group!

Prayers for our Kids
On Sunday, July 10, Alec and Cole were the only 2 boys who were able to assist due to soccer tournament conflict with the other members of Hunger 2 Help. While the boys were delivering hot breakfast burritos and water to our street homeless, one of our friends came to me and asked me to join him in a prayer. He wanted to pray for my son and the other boys, for their happiness and their future. I am amazed that even while people are in such a bad place and time in their lives, they still think and pray for others! Thank you Robert!
David Travels
David, in the picture below, has not been out of a 1 mile downtown radius for the past 3 years. With the boys Beach Soccer Tournament in Coronado, he was invited to attend and cheer them on. David had such a great time Saturday that he asked to come back on Sunday! The picture below is from Sunday! David had a great time and the boys and the parents were so grateful for his positive contributions!
