The Storehouse of Collin County

The Storehouse immediate focus is to achieve its mission to feed, clothe, and care as neighbors in one community by relating to each neighbor holistically. The majority of the people we serve – whom we call neighbors – find The Storehouse because they are suffering with food insecurity. We know that if a neighbor has food needs, they have other needs as well. Our 5 year strategy is to add to our existing programs to offer education, housing, and employment to our neighbors.

Our 5 year strategic plan aims to achieve the following objectives:

• 2021: Strengthen the integration of neighbor assessment outcomes to inform the program offerings of Seven Loaves, Joseph’s Coat and Project Hope.

• 2022: Launch a fourth program to address the education needs of our neighbors – Storehouse Academy. The Academy will focus on offering job skills and life skills class, along with collaborating with other education organizations in our community.

• 2023: Formalize arrangements with both housing and employment providers to help neighbors who find themselves in crisis. The Storehouse will have a dedicated staff person simply to address these two basis needs.

• 2024: Research and develop the business plan, strategy and resources to launch a social enterprise that will serve as a place of employment and community for our neighbors.

• 2025: Launch our fifth program, The Storehouse social enterprise.

This strategic plan was ratified by the Board of Directors in late 2020 and the Executive Director, along with the Vision Committee of the Board, are responsible for its implementation.

The Storehouse has a engaged staff, volunteers and Board of Directors who are committed to standing behind the mission. The five year vision of the Board is innovative, yet measured in its pacing of implementation. With strong funding from hundreds of individuals, foundations and corporations, The Storehouse is poised to make a transformative difference in the lives of the neighbors we serve.

In our last fiscal year (July 2021 – June 2022), we served 2,848,488 meals through our Seven Loaves food pantry, distributed 51,527 articles of clothing through our Joseph’s Coat clothes closet, and assisted 1,906 neighbors with other needs in one-on-one contact through our empowerment based, transformational program Project Hope. As a point of context, in Seven Loaves alone, we have experienced an 86% increase in total meals served from FY21.
