CommonGood Medical expands McKinney clinic, adds thrift store support

CommonGood Medical is moving into a larger McKinney clinic and adding a thrift store, a shift leaders say is meant to keep free care available as demand rises. For uninsured and low-income Collin County residents, the change is not just a new address. It is an attempt to build a steadier funding base for a clinic that has become part of the county’s safety net.

The organization’s story began with pastors who wanted to help an unhoused community member and could not find the needed health resources locally, so they built one themselves. CommonGood first saw patients in 2017 while operating from the Baptist Immigration Center in McKinney, then moved into its downtown McKinney location in 2019. The clinic has since grown into about 4,000 square feet with five exam rooms, workstations, space for lab draws and room for volunteers. It also provides free lab testing through a partnership with Quest Diagnostics.

CommonGood says it has provided free primary medical care to more than 1,000 uninsured and under-resourced Collin County residents since 2017. A separate profile on the organization says it handles more than 4,200 visits each year. That scale matters in a county that has swelled from 1,066,331 people in the 2020 Census to an estimated 1,297,179 on July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Census estimates also show 11.0% of Collin County residents under age 65 lacked health insurance in the 2020-2024 period.

Daniel Moreno, the organization’s director of development, has described the clinic as filling a local access gap. The new thrift store is intended to help close that gap more durably. CommonGood says the store will generate sustainable income for patient care, with items sold helping fund free, whole-person medical care for uninsured people in the community. The nonprofit also said its broader support structure includes the CommonGood Collective, a donor network meant to help with unexpected medical needs not fully covered by the clinic or by patients themselves.

The thrift store’s donation center is at 2750 Virginia Pkwy in McKinney, with drop-off hours Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The clinic changed its name from Hope Clinic of McKinney to CommonGood Medical in March 2024, and its mission now centers on partnering with the community to provide quality, comprehensive and compassionate care to medically underserved neighbors. In a fast-growing county where affordability and access remain uneven, that combination of clinic space, retail revenue and referral-based care is designed to make the model last.
