ABOUT REACH REGINA
In March 1990, the Regina City Council received a report containing recommendations from a Mayor’s board of inquiry focused on addressing hunger in Regina. One of the suggestions was to offer initial funding to an organization that could address child hunger gaps left by other organizations. As a result, Regina Education and Action on Child Hunger was established.
REACH began in an office space in Scott Collegiate with an executive director and 2 and a half staff. When the Good Food Box program started in 1997, the boxes were put together in the basement of St. Andrew’s Church. Over the subsequent years, REACH leased space from the food bank and changed locations several times before finally establishing their current home on Osler Street in January 2021. Currently, their team comprises six full-time staff members and more than 50 regular volunteers.
