Teach Service
Teach ServiceThe most significant thing REACH does is teach people the joy of service. Serving others is often viewed as a responsibility. We think this is true, but, more importantly, we recognize that being in service to others brings great joy and helps develop thriving communities.

Connect and Engage
Alleviate LonelinessThis is one of the most important things we do. We strive to connect people to create more resilient individual and community. Overcoming our loneliness is the first step in leading a life of service. We do this in a variety of ways. Sometimes we do it very personally by spending hours with people in need. Sometimes we host community events to get people out of their homes and engaged with their neighbors. However we do it, we aim to facilitate the building of relationships.

Beautification
Environmental Protection and Beautification
Pride starts with the way things look on the outside. We encourage our groups to work with the Roanoke Community Garden Association to help create bountiful, green spaces. Additionally, our volunteers clean out streams, plant trees and participate in neighborhood clean ups. The physical environment is the foundation on which we build our communities.

Serve Children
Serve ChildrenWe pay special attention to children in our work of service. We recognize that they represent the future of our communities and we can have a positive influence by being present in their lives. Just taking some time to play and show that they are valued can be very impactful.
