Testimonials

At age 91, I feel that I have been given dignity and a sense that someone cares due to [Senior Reach's] efforts and generosity.

Frederika W.

Senior Reach Client

In [LOP], I have learned that you have to try, and the teachers have been a key part in increasing my confidence. They create spaces free of judgment and full of encouragement.

Yamile A.

For 14 years, we have supported Reach and are extremely pleased to witness the difference Reach's services make in our Montgomery County community. We have definitely seen improvement and happiness in the lives of those who Reach serves.

Reach Supporters

The clinic staff called me over and over again to get tested for colon cancer. I followed their recommendations and thanks to all the staff, the doctor and the manager, I was saved from advanced cancer. They discovered my cancer early and thanks to them I no longer have cancer.

The teacher focuses on all the important skills, speaking, reading, writing, and listening, that helped me build confidence and communicate better in everyday life.
