Here are different ways Frisco residents can get help or support their community amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Getting help
COVID-19 North Texas Relief
Senior citizens or those immunocompromised in Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Allen and surrounding areas can post their needs on the COVID-19 North Texas Relief Facebook group, and members of the group can volunteer to help. For example, someone could post a grocery list; volunteers would then collect funds for the items, purchase them at the store and deliver them to the person in need.
