  • We Do Good Work Tour with Rosen's Bagels: Bagels and Beyond

    When: Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 4 PM to 6 PM

    Where: 11101 Burnet Road STE A100, Austin, TX 78758

    Some experiences are just good for the soul.

    Join Good Work Austin at Rosen's Bagels for an intimate afternoon with the man behind some of Austin's most beloved bagels, Tom Rosen. This is more than a tour. It's a chance to get behind the scenes, learn the craft, and be part of something bigger.

    Tom will walk you through the art of bagel making, sharing the knowledge and passion that has made Rosen's a staple in this city. You'll get a full tour of the restaurant, see how everything comes together, and then roll up your sleeves and make your very own bagel to take home. You'll also get to watch fresh bagels get boiled and baked right in front of you, and build your own smear from scratch using ingredients Tom has curated for the night.

    A limited number of spots available. $50 per guest. And every single dollar goes directly to Good Work Austin to support local food workers, helping create pathways to living-wage jobs, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and ensuring workers have the training, resources, and support they need to build stable, thriving careers in the food industry.

    This is the kind of evening that reminds you why community matters. Good food, good people, and the chance to do something good together.

    Grab your spot before it's gone!

    Where: Tonari by Uroko: 1023 Springdale Road Bldg. 1 Suite C Austin, TX 78721

    This is not your average Sunday afternoon.

    Twelve seats. One unforgettable experience. A room full of people who believe that doing good and living well are not mutually exclusive.

No experience required. Just bring your appetite and your energy.
