November is a time to reflect on gratitude—and at Reach, we’re thankful for the incredible community that makes our mission possible. From our dedicated staff and volunteers to the families and participants we serve, your support continues to create meaningful connections every day. This month’s updates celebrate that spirit of community, along with new opportunities to get involved, give back, and connect. |

Double Your Impact & Build Inclusion! |
November 1–20 | Give to the Max Day is November 20
Join us in November for Give to the Max and help Reach for Resources continue building a community where everyone belongs. Early giving begins November 1, so you don’t have to wait to make an impact! Every gift made between November 1 and 20 counts toward our $25,000 goal for Trail by Reach, culminating on November 20, Minnesota’s biggest day of giving! Double Your Impact! Donate today, and your gift will be matched up to $5,000, thanks to the generosity of Suzanne Boda and George Grindahl. Every dollar goes twice as far in creating opportunities that change lives.
Your support provides accessible transportation for adults with developmental disabilities, connecting them to recreation, leisure, and educational programs in their communities. With your help, participants gain independence, social connection, and new opportunities for growth, enriching their lives and fostering inclusion. |
