"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.
