Neighbors and Friends,

Each year at this time, ACO faces a “low” in donations while we also face an increase in need from local families. The GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE Campaign is vital each Summer to support the programs and services that ACO can provide to those facing crisis. But ACO is facing a CRISIS at this time, too.
The summertime campaign is not yet reaching our goals. We are at a critical time to cut services to families who need us most if we do not get the financial support we need so desperately.
If you have not yet given to this campaign, we need you NOW. Please make a donation TODAY.
THANK YOU if you have made your donation! If you can give more, please do so TODAY.

Your compassion and support may make the difference in whether a family gets the emergency services and support that they need. Your support may insure that they have food for their children this summer and are prepared to begin the school year with supplies and proper clothing. Your gifts may be the lifeline that a family is so desperately in need of to stay in their home, find a job or get the medical care they need.

I’ve always said that we have the most incredible, giving and loving community who cares about their Collin County neighbors. I need you to join hands with ACO NOW. See the list below of a number of ways that you can help….

Many thanks,

Marjorie Vaneskahian Burr, ACO CEO
