Waco Outreach was featured as the community organization of
the week on Saturday, Feb. 15 at the Waco Farmers Market. Waco Outreach staff were able to set up a
booth to share information with shoppers on our services while also working to
recruit potential foster parents.
“It was a great opportunity for us,” said Brooke Davilla, Waco
Outreach director. “We ended up having several folks take our information and
we had two families who gave us their information. The exposure itself was
great. We also were able to hear stories from the community about their
experiences with Methodist Children’s Home.”
Davilla discovered the opportunity and learned that the
farmers market planned to start a program where they highlighted a community
organization each Saturday. During the
afternoon, Waco Outreach staff made homemade birdfeeders as a way to interact
with the crowd. They will return to the farmers market again in April.
