💛 10 Places to Donate This Thanksgiving — Around Collin County & North Texas

Give Thanks. Give Back.

🧡 A Note from Cindy Coggins Realty Group

As the holidays approach, we can’t help but pause and reflect on the incredible community we call home. Collin County has given so much to us — not just beautiful neighborhoods and thriving businesses, but genuine connections, loyal clients, and friends who’ve become family.

Gratitude runs deep here. It’s in the way neighbors show up for one another, how local businesses lend a hand, and how families give — even when times are tight. Community isn’t just where we live; it’s how we build the future together.

This season, we invite you to join us in giving back to the place that gives us so much. Below is a list of local organizations making a real difference right here in Collin County. Whether it’s a can of food, a warm blanket, or a moment of your time — every act of generosity matters.
