REACH stands for 'Rise, Empower, Advocate and Community Help, which originated from a simple act of kindness, when a friend of REACH Support Inc.’s founder, John Telfer approached him and asked what supports were available for a family who had lost their job due to the pandemic and was struggling to provide food for their children.

REACH Support Inc. was founded by John Telfer, who is a social worker by background, with a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. John recognizes that due to inequities in society, some families are faced with greater challenges and difficulties due to various factors outside of their control.
