"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.
Chief Executive Officer
We believe that real change happens when people come together for a cause greater than themselves. By partnering with ACO through sponsorship, you’re not just supporting an event – you’re standing alongside families, individuals, and communities who rely on our programs every single day.

As I sit down this morning to write this message, one thing keeps crossing my mind—I’m hungry! I can’t quite remember if I skipped breakfast (a habit I’m trying to break), but I think I grabbed a protein shake on the way out the door. Either way, my hunger makes me start thinking about tonight’s dinner plans too. Should I cook tonight, or are we eating out? Can you relate to wandering thoughts of food like I do?

What comes to mind when you think of All Community Outreach? To many, their first thought is that we are a food pantry. And we are! We are one of the largest in Collin County. Last year, more than 1.4 MILLION pounds of food were distributed to local families facing hunger.
But ACO is more than a food pantry. You probably also think of ACO as an agency to provide financial assistance to those families facing homelessness. And we are! ACO receives an average of 20 applications each day from Collin County residents requesting help with their rent and utility bills.
