During the five weeks of my solo show at the ArtCentre of Plano, we will be collecting gift cards for The Samaritan Inn of Collin County.

This organization serves over 100,000 meals a year, houses close to 500 people, a quarter of those being children, and is the largest comprehensive homeless shelter in the county. It's easy to think that a prosperous area wouldn't need help, but times can change for families at the drop of a hat.

They partner with Walmart and Target to give the residents dignity getting items they need, so grab some gift cards and put them in the box at the desk on your way in to the ArtCentre of Plano.

October 17th from 5-7pm we will present those cards to The Samaritan Inn and hear about what they are doing for this community...with wine and cheese of course!
