"I CHANGE LIVES" isn't just a tag line that we print on our shirts, or lightly speak of when talking about ACO Programs and Services. It is our mission, our focus and our commitment to the families in Collin County facing crisis situations who come through our doors every day. By first securing their immediate needs for food and housing, our case directors then walk hand in hand with each family through programs and services offered to provide a path to long-term financial stability. It's truly life changing.

Happy New Year! I hope that your year is off to a great start and that 2025 is a very happy and healthy year for you and your family.
Our staff and our Board of Directors will be looking ahead to the new year and how we can continue to grow and improve upon programs and services to change more lives in 2025. We’re a bit different than other local agencies in how we serve the community.
I am writing this early, and during our busiest week of the entire year. This is my monthly message to our community-to our donors, our volunteers and our ACO family. Usually, I would wrap up the month with what’s critical to ACO at the time, or as in this case as it is the end of year email to you.
But so much is on my mind as we begin this week before Christmas. This IS the busiest week all year long for All Community Outreach. It is also the worst week AND the best week. Let me explain…
Last month I told you about Sandra and her kids. Your many emails and inquiries about how you could help her this holiday season was so appreciated and heartwarming. Thank you!
I could tell you about Kevin, a single dad facing eviction, or Sasha, another mom working two jobs and still unable to pay her rent this month. There’s the elderly woman just a few blocks over from the ACO office whose children and grandchildren had to move in with her because they lost their home and now, she’s trying to feed and support them all on her fixed income. We paid her utility bill this month to keep them warm. She depends on the ACO Pantry and Cares Center to feed those babies!
