Winter Storm Uri was like nothing Texas has ever seen before. Many Texans endured long periods without power, heat, and/or water. It was a scary experience that brought many of us to our knees. That being said, the outpouring of love and help between neighbors and our community has been nothing short of amazing.
At Collin County Moms, we are passionate about this wonderful community we live in. We want to connect local moms and families to the resources that stand ready to step in if you need a helping hand.
We’ve highlighted some of these organizations below and hope that this list will be a good starting point to connect with what will be most helpful to you.
