Thanksgiving is a time for reflection, gratitude and giving back. For those looking to make a difference in the Waco community this season, here are five meaningful opportunities. Whether it’s volunteering or donating, do your part in giving back to and supporting our Waco.

“While a shelter in Waco may have 15 or 20 people to care for 100 to 200 hundred dogs, the shelter in Guatemala only has about three or four people treating twice the amount of animals,” Cunningham said. “So, the 12 people we are able to bring on this trip, including myself and Mia, really helps alleviate the workers at the shelter too.”

Baylor professes to giving back to the community — and its students are living up to that claim.

Students in the Baylor Interior Design Association will design a collapsible, temporary 400-square-foot dwelling during a national competition sponsored by the Interior Design Educators Council.

The dwelling will be used to aid four-person families that are in need of shelter after a natural disaster has occurred.
