There are so many ways to support the work of Mission Waco | Mission World. Did you know when you shop at our businesses, you not only support the economic development of our neighborhood but also help us sustain our programs that empower our brothers and sisters experiencing poverty? Our Social Enterprise Tour highlights our social businesses- why they exist and the positive impact they have on our community. You will have an opportunity to hear from Mission Waco staff about Jubilee Food Market, Urban REAP, and Fair Trade Market. Through our tours we hope to raise awareness about poverty and ways we can work together to address the various issues facing those in under-resourced communities.
Reserve your seat!
The tour is one-and-a-half hours long and begins at Mission Waco’s Jubilee Center (N. 15th & Colcord). There is no charge for the tour. We have a vehicle (13 passengers plus our driver/guide) that can be reserved with advance notice, or we can provide a tour guide to ride in your group’s vehicle. If you have a large group (more than 13), we suggest bringing your own bus due to the availability of our staff for tours. Please feel free to discuss this with us.
We prefer to schedule tours for a minimum group size of eight people. If you are an individual looking to join a group, let us know and we’ll reach out when there are open seats on another tour.
We are flexible in the days and times that the tours are scheduled. In the form below, please note your top four preferences for date and time.
Groups are invited to eat a meal at one of the neighborhood restaurants before or after the tour (including our very own World Cup Café) or to visit our Fair Trade Market. Your support of local businesses and restaurants adds to the economic development of these under-resourced neighborhoods. Let us know if you would like recommendations of where to get a bite, coffee, or sweet treat.
