Market With a Mission is Back!

Last year, Market With a Mission became one of Central Texas’ largest collaborative community outreach efforts.

Because of the generosity of businesses, nonprofits, volunteers, and community partners, we distributed more than 80,000 pounds of food while connecting over 9,000 families with life-changing community resources.

Now we’re preparing for an even bigger second season.
