In 2017, Mission Waco developed the Urban R.E.A.P. program to address the reality of the neighborhood being a “food desert” with a lack of fresh foods and affordable groceries for purchase. Green Mountain Energy’s Sun Club provided a $234,000 grant for this project. The signage focuses on the four components of the project—solar, rainwater capture, commercial composting, and aquaponics—to educate the public.
