Our Continued Commitment to Community Nourishment

Dreamt it

1982

Volunteers gathered every Thursday evening at Honeydew Elementary School in the Renton Highlands to cook and serve a meal for anyone who came. The meal continued for over 30 years until 2012.

Built it

2013

REACH assembled a group to explore how to ensure meals are given to anyone in need in Renton, WA.

2015

REACH inherited the responsibility of preparing and serving weekend meals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and serving breakfast to those in need 5 mornings a week. Serving locations have varied and permanent housing is being sought.

Grew it

Continuing Our Mission: Serving the Renton Community

From 2015 to 2023, the REACH Meal Coalition provided hot meals at no cost in Renton. In 2023, we adapted as our building faced demolition, temporarily pausing our services. We've adapted by providing a weekly meal in partnership with the Downtown Renton Library and Pop-Up Closets free to the community.
