REACH Inc. With a strong focus on fostering reading comprehension and writing skills, REACH collaborates with community partners to provide progressive literacy resources to children in need. One of their key initiatives is The Big Free Bookstore, where they offer a large selection of new and gently loved books to the community.

Through their programs, REACH advocates and volunteers spend quality time with children, engaging in reading activities and fun interactions. Since its establishment in 1998, REACH has grown exponentially, now serving over three thousand families and partnering with 120+ community organizations. Their Read Aloud Program, which began in homeless and domestic violence shelters, has expanded to include numerous shelters and community organizations.

By addressing the literacy needs of at-risk children, REACH is working towards reversing illiteracy and improving education outcomes. Join REACH in their mission to provide equal access to literacy resources and support the educational success of children in Coastal Virginia
