Do Good * Give Back

To truly reflect Frisco’s values, Frisco Square aspires to be as generous, supportive and involved as the community is, making full use of our time, money, creativity and facilities to support local charities, non-profits and others who also aim to “do good” in Frisco.

Community Trusteeship

Frisco Square is a place to live, to work, to be entertained, to learn more, and to support our surrounding community, our residents and tenants. We greatly appreciate the commitment of our Owners and the foresight of Frisco’s City leaders to bring us to this point. Our mission to give back continues….

Project Warm Us

Project Warm Us collects warm items such as coats, blankets and shoes to help keep the homeless warm during the cold winter months. Many of the people they serve are shelter-less, living in Dallas, Texas and the surrounding metroplex. They also collect for people living in shelters and orphanages.

Statistics from the Dallas area homeless count shows there are 21% more homeless people than last year, and an expected increase with Hurricane Harvey victims. Their 2017 goal is 9,636 warm items by Thanksgiving.

Frisco Square will be partnering with Project Warm Us again this year, and will be collecting new/gently used items in October and November.
