Market Street at Watters Creek Recognized for Supporting Collin County Legacy Club 4-H Food Drive Benefiting All Community Outreach
ALLEN, Texas, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 4-H Legacy Club of Collin County extends its sincere appreciation to Market Street at Watters Creek Village, part of the United Supermarkets family, for generously hosting a recent community food drive in support of All Community Outreach (ACO).
The event brought together 4-H volunteers with Market Street team members and shoppers in a shared effort to combat food insecurity in the Allen area. Through the combined generosity of Market Street and its gracious customers, nearly 1,700 pounds of food and essential goods were collected and donated to ACO.
As a long-standing and valued member of the Allen community, Market Street once again demonstrated its commitment to local outreach and service. The store provided a welcoming and accessible location for the drive, helping maximize participation and visibility for the cause.
4-H Legacy Club members played a key role in organizing and facilitating the event, working closely with store staff to coordinate collections and engage with donors. Their efforts reflect the organization’s broader mission of leadership, service, and community engagement.
“Seeing our community come together like this is incredibly inspiring,” said Anneka Hansel, a senior member of the 4-H Legacy Club. “We are so grateful to Market Street for hosting us and to everyone who contributed. These donations will make a real difference for families served by ACO.”
All Community Outreach will distribute the collected items to individuals and families in need throughout the region, helping ensure access to nutritious food and basic necessities. The nearly 1,700 pounds of donations represent a meaningful contribution to ongoing local relief efforts.
Legacy Club 4-H also recognizes the dedication of Market Street employees, whose support and enthusiasm helped make the event a success. Their partnership continues to strengthen the bond between local businesses and community service organizations.
This successful food drive highlights the impact that collaboration can have when community partners unite around a shared goal. Legacy Club 4-H looks forward to future opportunities to work alongside Market Street and other local organizations to serve those in need.
