Image 4: The rice-and-bean burritos are prepared the night before a delivery.
Image 5: A homeless woman shows Yu a pamphlet she's been reading. "It isn't about the stuff we give out," he says. "It's about the relationships we develop."
Image 6: When the Burrito Banditos first began their treks in April 2009, some of the homeless were leery. "But over time," says group founder Anthony Singhavong, "they've really come to trust us and know us by name."
