This page contains information on different types of resources to address needs in McKinney and Collin County. You can find information if you or someone you know needs help. First Methodist supports many of these organizations through contributions of money, items, or volunteers.
 
One Heart McKinney
One Heart McKinney is a community-wide effort that began as a response to COVID-19. One Heart McKinney now exists to coordinate the WHOLE community to maximize well-being in daily life, and respond to and recover from any community crisis.
 
There is also information on where to get services such as food, clothing, or baby necessities. This is a wonderful resource for those in need or anyone who is trying to find information to share. 
Streetside Showers
Streetside Showers serves the homeless population in Collin County by providing mobile hot showers and hygiene care to those in need. They have a mission of “radical hospitality” and want to help restore dignity and hope to those that the world has seemingly forgotten.
Community Lifeline Center
Community Lifeline Center steps in with emergency assistance for local residents to manage crises and navigate their way back to self-sufficiency. This assistance ranges from financial help—rent, utilities, food, medical or prescription assistance—to job search training, credit and budget counseling, and advocacy. Read more about what they do here. 
Community Health Clinic provides an essential public service to the health and welfare of the community by serving as a medical home to those families who would otherwise fall through the cracks of the healthcare system. 
988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), and is now active across the United States.
 
When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
