Serving Lunch at the Samaritan Inn


Our Keller Williams North Collin County office donated money to host lunch at the Samaritan Inn. It is the largest homeless shelter in Collin County. We heard a spokesperson for the Inn at a local networking meeting a few weeks ago and we decided to find a way to get involved. We were able to raise the money quickly. We also collected gift cards to local stores so the parents staying at the Inn could have the pride of buying their children Christmas gifts. We collected over $400 in gift cards and we are already have a great to start to host another lunch in January/February. Six of us went over to help serve lunch. We were greeted with big smiles and positive attitudes. They were excited about having choices and fresh vegetables for lunch. It broke our hearts, but reminded us how grateful we should be for the luxuries we have in our lives. We left the Samaritan Inn humbled and wanting to do more.
