Her ridiculously cool sounding day job at Baylor University aside, Ashley Thornton has become a Waco fixture through her website, weekly emails, and (now) Facebook page: Act Locally Waco. Aggregating trainings, volunteer opportunities, and events, Ashley has created a one-stop shop for the non-profit community in Waco and those seeking to lend a hand. She also played a key role in the city's Poverty Solutions Steering Committee. Ashley joins Craig, Wendy, and Becky for a conversation on what drove her to create this site, ways in which the city can effectively address and reduce poverty, and of course shares what she's excited about during our 'The Waco What' segment.
