Please join REACH in raising $35,000 through our 3rd annual peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, Planting Seeds of Hope Campaign!
Every day, REACH works with survivors of domestic violence to foster safety and support while engaging communities to promote healthy relationships. This past year has been especially difficult for those experiencing domestic violence and the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of survivors that we work with in unimaginable ways. The need has never been greater. REACH advocates have been working tirelessly to offer support and resources and we have adjusted the way we do our work to meet the new challenges that survivors are facing. Your gift to REACH will help ensure that we have the means to continue this work right now and, in the future, because once THIS crisis is over, we know the impact on survivors will be long lasting. As the days get warmer and the plants start to bloom, help shine a light and lift the voices of survivors out of the shadows.
