Unity as strong as ours. No one should feel invisible. For years, East Plano Islamic

Center Epic has been committed to serving our neighbors. Through our free medical clinic,

feeding children everywhere, food pantry, blanket drives, back to school and backpack drives, mobile medical clinics,

disaster relief support, adopt a street cleanups, and by opening our doors as a warming shelter

for the past three winters through the Plano Overnight Warming Shelter Coalition,

Epic has consistently stepped forward to help those in need.

Today, Epic is taking a bold step forward.

We are honored to lead a new unified initiative, the Epic Community Services Center,

a place where compassion is organized, hope is accessible, and essential services are brought

together under one roof.

This center will be located in downtown Plano, a location chosen with purpose. It is easily accessible to underserved families, low-income households, and our unhoused neighbors.

It also lies within the city's established zoning and ordinances,

making it the most strategic and compassionate place to serve those who need us most.

At the Epic Community Services Center, hope begins with connection.

Our transitional homeless services will provide safety, stability, and support, meeting individuals

where they are and helping them take the next step toward housing, employment, and independence.

For those without access to health care, the free medical clinic will be a lifeline, offering

general health checkups, dental care, mental health services, and wound care.

Compassionate treatment, offered without cost, without barriers, and without judgment.

A hot meal can comfort the soul. Our soup kitchen will serve freshly prepared meals in a space where every guest is welcomed, respected, and treated with dignity. The food pantry will support

families facing hardship with fresh produce, essential groceries, and culturally appropriate foods.
