At Mission Waco Mission World, we want to feed mouths, but also souls. Friday Morning Breakfast (FMB) provides Waco’s impoverished and homeless population with an opportunity to enjoy a meal, a message and fellowship with others. This happens every Friday at 6:30 a.m. at the Meyer Center.

Different civic groups and churches provide the meal each week. Interested in helping out? Volunteers and groups can commit to a semester, provide a one-time meal or be put on a monthly rotation. Contact Paul Fields to volunteer or to schedule your group to provide a meal.

The Mission Waco Legal Assistance Program (MWLAP) was founded in 2012 to help remove legal barriers by providing access to affordable legal services for those who are unable to afford a private attorney. MWLAP has since served over 1,000 individuals and families through direct legal advice and free monthly legal advice clinics. Client advocates help connect applicants to other necessary social services and support the community in the creation of lasting solutions to systemic problems.

MWLAP exists to provide affordable, compassionate, holistic and community-driven legal services to individuals and families who are low-income and marginalized, in order to promote an increased quality of life for all people. We offer the following services:

• Legal Advice and Guidance: Free personalized appointments for low-income individuals where applicants meet with volunteer attorneys for 30-minute consultations. These appointments are generally offered on the first Thursday of each month. To make an appointment, please fill out this Legal Intake Form, and a volunteer attorney will contact you. Due to the high demand for these services, appointments are required and often fill up months in advance. However, a volunteer attorney will contact you if you have an appointment set and an earlier date becomes available.

• Holistic Advocacy: Social workers and community advocates are available to help with applicants’ other needs as they come.

Please note: Our volunteer attorneys provide applicants with free legal advice, guidance, and help in connecting with additional resources, if applicable. However, our attorneys cannot represent applicants in their legal matters.

Compelled by the teachings and love of Jesus Christ, Mission Waco Legal Assistance Program serves and empowers people in need regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation or national origin.

MWLAP is located at the Meyer Center. Learn more about the Meyer Center’s other programs here.
