Who We Are

WHO WE ARE

Reach Ministry is an outreach ministry in Seattle, serving areas in King, Pierce and Snohomish County. We believe that hope is alive in the Northwest, so Reach Ministry goes into the darkest places of the city and provides hope Reach Ministry provides practical needs and spiritual needs. Over seven years, REACH has seen what the power of consistency can do in communities that are challenged with homelessness, addiction, and hopelessness.We believe we can be a light in the darkness and bring hope to the community.

MISSION

Reach Ministry’s mission is to come alongside the brokenhearted and to see lives restored and communities transformed. Reach Ministry is a platform that gives people the opportunity to serve the community.

VISION

Reach Ministry’s vision is to equip volunteers to have the confidence to engage communities and individuals with love and hope. We at Reach Ministry train people how to step out in faith and believe they can make a difference in people’s lives.

We encourage our staff and volunteers to take what they have learned at Reach Ministry and bring hope and love to their families, workplaces, community, and strangers they meet.

By volunteering, you can make a difference in someone’s life. People are struggling daily in all cities, communities, and environments and are in need of hope. Reach activates courage in their volunteers to prevent people from becoming hopeless. What if we can be proactive instead of reactive by giving people hope in our communities so that they don’t become homeless?

PURPOSE

Experiencing challenges in life can put people in the most vulnerable situations. Feeling like hope is so far away brings in depression and overwhelming feelings of defeat.

At Reach, we believe that people’s situations are not their identity, and their stories can change. A consistent drip of hope can heal a broken heart. We focus on spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical healing.

Practical needs and spiritual needs go hand in hand for someone to be restored. Hope is Alive is our purpose, and we invite people to volunteer to help reach those who are struggling in our city and be a light of hope in the darkness.

CULTURE

Reach Ministry has created a family of volunteers on a mission. Safety is a key component when serving in tough areas of the city that are experiencing hopelessness. These areas have a reputation of being challenging and intimidating.

Having trust in your team while volunteering in all kinds of situations and circumstances is vital, and we at Reach have developed that trust.

Being on the frontlines together has built a strong bond between volunteers. Deep unity and camaraderie are birthed as we serve the underserved communities as a team.

Reach has built a culture of hundreds of volunteers from different communities and backgrounds working together to bring hope and love to our city. We are better together.

IMPACT

Making an impact in someone’s life is not a number that can be measured or counted. Reach measures impact by how many relationships we have built in the community. Impact moves at the speed of relationships, and to build relationships requires consistency on an individual basis. Building relationships has given us the opportunity to help people get off the streets and become restored. This is not a one-time transaction but a relationship-building journey that gives us trust and influence in someone’s life to help lead them to housing, healing, and purpose.
