OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — A religious community group has launched a new food truck aimed at feeding people experiencing homelessness in Oakland.<\/p>\n

The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal recently started the project, which they’re calling “The Burrito Brothers.”<\/p>\n

Father Daniel Williamson says the goal is to offer dignity and care through fresh, homemade meals.<\/p>\n

“We try to do something beautiful for the people, show them they have dignity and we care about them. So we try to make a nice meal. Home-cooked burritos, nachos, lemonade, whatever they want. And it’s just to help them know we’re here for them.”<\/p>\n

The ministry began preparing fresh food every Tuesday and Thursday a couple of weeks ago. Volunteers visit different encampments and streets each day, bringing meals directly to people in need.<\/p>\n

The group says the effort is rooted in Christianity’s call to feed the hungry and care for those on the margins.<\/p>\n
