A special shout-out to all the volunteers who showed up and to everyone that spread the word. We couldn’t have done it without you!

We are so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community. Together, we can accomplish so much! 🙌

BCBSTX has given to The Samaritan Inn for multiple years, and we are grateful for their continued support! Annual partnerships like BCBSTX contribute to the stability of the programs we provide our residents.

The school year has kicked off to a great start! The children at The Samaritan Inn are happy and carrying over the joy from summer camp!

❤️💙Thank you to all our donors, staff, and partners who made the summer fun possible! We were able to send our children to 15 camps and on 6 field trips through the support given to the Sponsor-a-child campaign.❤️💙

we appreciate all that does to put this together!

Big shout-out to HistoryMaker Homes for going above and beyond in our community!

Their recent national service project made a huge impact! They painted all the resident doors on all 3 floors and repainted our Inn Style Resale store a new vibrant purple. We also had the pleasure of touring all 60 of the volunteers.

We're so grateful for their dedication and hard work. Businesses like these are truly making a difference. Thank you for your incredible service and for choosing the Samaritan Inn!

🚨 **URGENT NEED** 🚨

The Samaritan Inn is in dire need of new twin and queen-sized sheets. You can help by ordering through the Amazon link below, and your donation will be shipped directly to our shelter.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2YQ29L29IC63U?ref_=wl_share

We are also urgently seeking donations of bottled water. With the relentless heat and humidity, our shelter has become a crucial safe haven for the homeless to escape the elements, rehydrate, and cool down.

Please drop off your new sheets or cases of water at The Samaritan Inn:
📍 1514 N. McDonald Street, McKinney, TX 75071

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping us support our homeless community! ❤️

Education at the Inn focuses on supporting the development of our adults to succeed in Obtaining Better-Paying Jobs.

Alene Green of Enelra Talent Solutions, LLC is supporting our adults by donating development planners.

Thank you to Alene Green of Enelra Talent Solutions!

We are incredibly grateful to H-E-B for their grant of $50,000 to replace our kitchen appliances and for sponsoring our Back to School Bash!

The majority of our kitchen equipment was 8-10 years old and was from our old building. We currently serve well over 100,000 meals a year and the new appliances will make us so much more efficient. It's incredible to think that if we can stretch our new appliances another 10 years we have the potential to serve 1,000,000 meals with this gift.

The Back to School Bash was a huge success! Our residents enjoyed the HEB BBQ, the bounce house, and the water slide. It was a great way for the adults, families, and kids to kick off the new year!

HEB's support will continue to make a significant impact!

We appreciate HEB's partnership and their philanthropic commitment to creating a thriving environment in our community. Together, we are stronger!

Thank you for the insightful tour Children's Advocacy Center of Collin County - The Speese Campus in McKinney! We are truly inspired by your incredible work and the positive impact you're making in our community. Keep up the amazing work!

School starts right around the corner but did you know we have educational initiatives year round for our adult residents?

Our $uccess Inn Motion program focuses on providing essential educational services and support to residents, helping them develop the skills needed to improve their lives and secure stable employment.

Give today to support our residents on their educational journey: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/SuccessInnMotion
