McKinney nonprofits The Samaritan Inn, Community Lifeline Center to join through ‘mission-driven integration’

Two McKinney-based nonprofit organizations are integrating, with a plan to combine efforts in addressing homelessness and food insecurity in Collin County.

The Samaritan Inn and Community Lifeline Center have combined organizations and programming, which have both been supporting the community through homelessness services, food distribution and more for over 30 years, according to a Nov. 5 news release.

A closer look: Services at the food pantry located at 1601 N. Waddill St. will continue with no interruptions for the next six months while the emergency rent and utility assistance programs will begin operating from The Samaritan Inn’s main offices, the release states.

Quote of note: “This is how we build real, lasting solutions: By combining forces to heal and stabilize our neighbors,” Rick Grady, board member for both organizations and president of the Collin County Homeless Coalition, said in the release. “The Samaritan Inn and Community Lifeline Center amplify one another’s strengths.”
