"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.

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.
If you followed ACO’s progress last year, then you know we had quite a year of expansion! We weren’t one of those agencies who had big bucks to match our big dreams (oh yes, we did have the dreams!) of building a big beautiful new facility to serve Collin County families. We could have spent a few years in the midst of a capital campaign to raise funds to do so. However, is that the best use of funding? How many families could we help versus the cost of a new building?
