Monarch butterflies and other pollinators need our help, and you can make a real impact right at home.  

Join Keep McKinney Beautiful in promoting the creation of Monarch Waystations throughout McKinney. By planting native and adapted plants, residents can provide essential food, shelter, and breeding habitat for monarchs and other pollinators while contributing to a healthier, more resilient community. Monarch populations continue to face habitat loss across North America. Small actions, like a native backyard garden or container planting, add up to big change as native plants support pollinators, birds, and local ecosystems. 

McKinney proudly supports monarch conservation at the leadership level as well. The Mayor of McKinney annually participates in the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayoral Monarch Pledge, reinforcing the City’s ongoing commitment to protecting pollinators and expanding habitat. 

 Ways to Get Involved 

Helpful Resources 

Green Gardens at Gabe Nesbitt Park

The Green Gardens of McKinney serve as an excellent local example of how native plants and pollinator-friendly designs can thrive in public spaces. These gardens demonstrate how thoughtful planting supports monarchs, conserves water, and builds community pride. 

Program HOME 

A Blackland Prairie Texas Master Naturalist project that aims to consult and help guide residents in our community in creating habitats, increasing biodiversity, and educating about sustainability. This program is designed to help all residents, from landowners to homeowners to apartment occupants, by helping them achieve their goals for their own spaces. 

Monarch Waystation Program 
Create a Monarch Waystation to give butterflies and other pollinators the food and shelter they need to survive by planting native and adapted plants. 

National Wildlife Federation Certification Program 
Anyone can create a welcoming haven for local wildlife. Turning your yard, balcony container garden, schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside greenspace into a Certified Wildlife Habitat®is fun, easy, and can make a lasting difference for wildlife. 

Homegrown National Park Project 

Be part of a nationwide movement to restore biodiversity by planting native plants and removing invasives, turning everyday spaces into a connected “national park” for wildlife.

Did you create a Monarch Waystation or pollinator garden? We’d love to hear about it! Your story helps inspire others and strengthens our growing habitat network across McKinney. 

Share Your Monarch Waystation Story with Keep McKinney Beautiful 

Together, we can grow a network of pollinator habitats across McKinney, one garden at a time.

This is our most high demand position! Volunteer drivers contribute in the most direct and personal way. Taking a day from your routine to drive a person in need to a new home or to a city with shelter could be literally a lifesaving way to serve.

Our service depends on volunteers willing to give up time to help someone in need. Some positions are backstage roles supporting the organization, while other roles involve being directly involved in someone's escape from abuse.

Is It Safe?

The most common question we hear from volunteer candidates is asking about the safety from abusers. We do not pick up clients from their home, and we are not on the scene during police activity. We require that our clients be in a safe place for pickup such as a police station, fire station, counselor's office, a shelter, a business with security, or other safe place. During volunteer training we discuss contingency planning and we prepare you for all types of travel. For specific questions ahead of orientation, call us at 833-903-7233 or email volunteer@FamiliestoFreedom.org. Fill out the form below to get started! Someone from our office will then contact you for a brief discussion. Expect area code 972 or 346 for that call.

Keeping clean can be very difficult on the streets. When a man or lady is able to keep clean, this can give them that extra bit of positivity they need to get through the day, and it can help them present themselves well for a job interview. Mini-hygiene kits are a great way to help care for the less fortunate. 

A) Assemble full kits
or
B) Donate whatever hygiene-related items you may have or buy. Feel free to give other items than those we have listed. We have found the ones listed are the most needed items.

To assemble a mini-hygiene kit just put the items in a half-gallon-sized zip-lock (or off-brand) bag. If the items fit in a smaller bag that is fine too.

Example Kit:

Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Disposable Razors
Deodorant
Soap

Feel free to add more items, but avoid liquids unless sealed very well.

We are in the streets daily, so we go through bags quickly. Please know any amount helps us care for the less fortunate in our community.

To drop off mini-hygiene kits please contact Scott at 972.890.5290 or scottmormon@bfinc.org

We also invite you to come with us to the streets and watch us hand out the kits. We also do educational speaking to all ages about homelessness and drug and alcohol awareness. If interested please message or call us. Thank you, Scott.

In addition to prayer, we also try to help the homeless we reach out to with their practical needs. Having a Food Pack to hand out to them is a great help especially on days when local food pantries are not open.

To make a food pack please put several non-perishable snack items in a quart-size zip-lock (or off-brand) bag. Note that the bags should be plastic and not paper.

If you can't make a food pack then feel free to donate non-perishable food items.

Here are some example items that will work. We just ask that any liquids be donated separately and not placed inside the bags.

Crackers
Tuna in packets
Powdered Beverage Mix Packets
Granola Bar
Nuts
Jerky

Additionally, if any of your food items require utensils it'd be a great help if you include disposable utensils in the bag.

We are out in the streets daily, so we go through bags quickly. We can go through 400 bags a month. Please know any amount helps us care for the less fortunate in our community.

To drop-off food packs please contact Scott at 972.890.5290 or scottmormon@bfinc.org

We invite you to come participate with us in Plano handing out grace bags to the disadvantaged. We also provide education for those interested about the reality of homelessness in our community.

Be a Helping Hand in Someone’s Hardest Moment

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to give back? Our pantry operates like a real grocery store — guests browse, choose their own groceries, and leave with dignity and full bags. But we can’t do it without YOU!

Our food pantry is a lifeline for many local families — and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers. Whether you’re stocking shelves, greeting guests, or packing groceries, you’ll be offering more than food — you’ll be offering care, dignity, and hope.

What You’ll Do as a Volunteer:

Do you love McKinney Public Library? Do you live in McKinney? Are you over 18 years of age? Do you have marketing/finance/auditing/fundraising/leadership skills?

If you answered yes to these questions, we need you! We meet on the fourth Tuesday every month at 6:30 p.m. at John and Judy Gay Library. The McKinney Public Library Foundation is actively recruiting for new Board Directors! You will be joining a working Board who supports your library directly.  Please see the website about the MPL Foundation at: https://www.mckinneyplf.org/mplf-applications and at MPL about the Foundation at: https://www.mckinneytexas.org/3487/McKinney-Public-Library-Foundation

You will need to attend monthly meetings and also serve on at least two committees.

We attend many of the MPL's events to raise awareness of the Foundation and we had our first big fundraising event "Sunset in the Stacks" in April 2025 that was fun and successful. What we raise goes back to the library for programming, support, technology, and more, all for the McKinney community. We participate in MPL's annual Literary Fest by supporting new authors. MPLF loves our library staff and presents at their Staff Development Day. 

Show your love of the library and McKinney by serving as a Director on the McKinney Public Library Foundation Board!

As we reach out to the community whether single mothers with children or the homeless we find they often need bibles. If you would like to donate Bibles then anything will work, but these are our recommendations:

Complete or New Testament: Bibles can be the full bible with Old + New Testament or New Testament only.

Youth & Children's Bibles: Especially needed.

Life Recovery Bible for those needing bibles in our drug and alcohol addiction program.

Easy-to-understand Translations: Translations that are easier to comprehend are preferable. While some people we meet use the King James Version many have trouble understanding it.

Language Options: We need Bibles in Spanish and others in English. You may provide either or both.

Thank you so much, you don't know how thankful people can be when the right person receives their first bible.

To drop off bibles please contact Scott at 972.890.5290 or scottmormon@bfinc.org

Donate Winter Items (Hoodies, Blankets, Gloves) For The Homeless

Update: Small throw blankets are the item most needed right now. They can be purchased at stores such as Walmart or Academy for < $4.

The cold can be a life-or-death situation, and unfortunately, this is no exaggeration due to a few incidents a few years ago. When you are homeless you can’t carry a heavy jacket around all year so when the sudden cold comes most find themselves unprepared.

We ask that any items that would help in the winter be donated. The primary items we have in mind are small throw blankets and warm outerwear such as hoodies, coats, or jackets. Beanies, gloves, and scarves are also appreciated.

Adult Men’s and/or Adult Women’s of Any Size

To drop-off items, please contact us by one of the means below:

Scott: 972.890.5290 or scottmormon@bfinc.org

Nicholas: nicholas.mchenry@bfinc.org

Please know that any amount and any mix of items helps so feel free to call. It is actions like these that add up to make a big impact in the world. Thank you, Scott.

 Please contact Eileen Turner at 214-282-5615 for more information.  Leave a call-back message if I'm away from the phone.  Thank you!!

Elevate North Texas Youth Shelter

Board of Directors Role

Elevate North Texas Youth Shelter is seeking qualified candidates to serve as volunteer board members for our growing nonprofit organization.

What we do: Elevate provides temporary shelter and a path to housing stability for youth and young adults (ages 18-24) who find themselves homeless.  

Where: in Collin County and Dallas County.

Our Mission: Elevate North Texas offers a welcoming, affirming environment with immediate, short-term housing and personal case management for youth (18-24) in crisis, partnering with them to create a path to housing stability.  

Our Vision: A community where all youth in crisis have a safe, affirming place to sleep and the support they need to thrive.

Background

In our short (5 year) history we have guided hundreds of youth in Dallas and Collin County to housing stability, and away from the risks of living on the streets.

Guided by our passionate Founder/Executive Director, our committed and talented board, and our small but impactful staff, Elevate has grown from providing 2 temporary beds in 2021, to 20 beds in 2025. And we will grow to serve more.

Our unique model is asset light, staff light, and bureaucracy light, so that most of our donor dollars can go directly to shelter and personal case management. We partner with local hotels to provide up to 60 days of shelter, where our youth can be safe, while our case managers guide them to stable housing outcomes.

Chronic homelessness is a growing challenge in North Texas, and around our nation. At Elevate, our first priority is the safety of each youth we serve. However, we also believe that our role in diverting young adults from a life of homelessness, can meaningfully reduce the number of adults who find themselves chronically homeless in the future.  

The Board Opportunity

We are seeking board candidates to help Elevate reach its next level of strategic growth in solving youth homelessness. We have a strong foundation in place, and it is time to take our outreach to the next level. Ideally, (but not exclusively) candidates would have expertise that would help round out and support our current board skillset. Needs include:

Financial executives or CPAs

Marketing and social media experts

Ideally (but not exclusively), candidates would help the board membership align with the diversity of the population that we serve

We pride ourselves on being cost effective and impactful. We have only a small staff, so, beyond typical advisory and governance, our board members generally lean in and provide direct support in their areas of expertise.

Does Elevate’s vision resonate with you? Do you think you can play an impactful role in helping Elevate reach its full potential? Please contact our Board President, Kathryn Paterson at Kathrynp@elevatentx.org to ask questions and/or provide us with your background. Or fill out a volunteer application at www.elevatentx.org/volunteer to get the conversation started.

Check us out at www.elevatentx.org

Elevate North Texas values community and we are always ready to welcome new volunteers. We know that time is one of the most valuable commodities people have. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with your time and skills! With our unique programs, we have many ways that you can support the fight against youth homelessness.

Texas has the highest number of uninsured persons in the United States.

The uninsured are up to four times less likely to have a consistent source of health care as those with insurance. Without a medical home, the uninsured often receive health care in the emergency room, the most expensive and least efficient setting possible for primary care.

In McKinney, over 18,000 residents are uninsured and over 12,000 live in poverty. This leaves many without affordable access to health care.

The HSF coaching program is the main differentiator between HSF and other scholarship organizations. One-to-one coaching is a significant contributor to a student’s academic success.

Students are each assigned a Coach to mentor them throughout the college journey.

They also provide direction with important decisions regarding other aspects of their student’s life and help guide students to learn to manage their time, set priorities, and develop good study habits.
