Community Lifeline Center/Samaritan Inn
Community Lifeline Center
High Pointe has joined forces with Community Lifeline Center to provide food to those in need. In the past, members have volunteered to help distribute food and other supplies to families in need. Over 21,000 individuals were served by CLC in 2015, and High Pointe provides both money and food items to help in the food distribution. In addition to our ongoing service to families in need, High Pointe members have helped provide the ingredients for traditional holiday meals during special times of the year such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the food distribution procedure has changed. Volunteers can sign up to help at both the office location (1601 N. Waddill St., #102) or at the one of the two warehouses (Warehouse #1 – 901 N. McDonald St., #903 or Warehouse #2 – 2000 N. McDonald St., #400) where food items are boxed or bagged. Anyone wanting to volunteer can go to the Community Lifeline website to sign up for a time slot. The office location is open Monday-Thursday, with two shifts: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM & 12:00-2:00 PM, & one person is scheduled for each shift. Clients call when they arrive, the food is collected and placed on a table outside the door, and they carry it to their own car. The amount of food given each family is determined by the size of their family. The warehouses are open 9:00-11:00 AM, Monday-Thursday, and three people are scheduled for each shift.
Community Lifeline is always appreciative of any donations of food or hygiene items. Needed items are listed on their website or on this list. PLEASE DO NOT DONATE ANYTHING IN GLASS CONTAINERS. Food and hygiene products can be placed in the designated basket in the west hallway, near the High Pointe office, or they can also be put on the table located outside the Waddill St. office during working hours.
More important than providing food and hygiene items to families in need, we are demonstrating three important ideas to them:
- We are living out our faith in Christ by continuing His ministry to help those who are in need.
- We are demonstrating our love to these families.
- We want to help them both physically and spiritually.
If you would like to share your love for Jesus and others, this ministry can help you to live out your faith as you grow closer to Christ. For more information, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Samaritan Inn
Serving meals at the Samaritan Inn is such a blessing. The residents are so gracious and appreciative of all who serve. High Pointe provides the funds for the meal the first Wednesday of every month. The chef will have the food all prepared and give you instructions about serving. Three to four people can handle the job and up to six may be there including older children. You are usually done before 7:30 pm.
There are other ways to provide support and volunteer to help with homelessness in Collin County.
