Whataburger names Waco couple Hometown Heroes

WACO, TX — Whataburger has named a Waco couple Hometown Heroes for their work through Mission Waco.

Jimmy and Janet Dorrell moved into their North Waco neighborhood more than 20 years ago. In that time, their fixer-upper house sat across the street from a bar. The neighborhood itself was struggling after years of neglect.

Jimmy and Janet started befriending their new neighbors, and Mission Waco began.

Whataburger is recognizing the work of Jimmy and Janet Dorrell by naming them Hometown Heroes.
