Volunteer Your Time!

There are so many ways you can get involved with REACH! Our biggest need is Bingo Volunteers. Between January and March of this year, more than $60,000 earned through Charitable Gaming went directly to supporting our mission. We now do two days of bingo to help support our book distribution efforts that have more than doubled over last year! Volunteering one day a month, every other week, or even more frequently helps us serve our community! You can also check out our upcoming volunteer opportunities outside of bingo below!
