Welcome to Reach Out Lakota |
News and Events |
| |
Reach Out Lakota is a non-profit, ecumenical, community-sponsored organization that gives eligible families in West Chester and Liberty Township food and clothing, as well as
paper, cleaning, baby, personal care and household items. No one can
predict a layoff, a fire, or unfortunate event. The economic downturn and
cost of fuel has caused a financial crisis on some families who have never
before had to ask for aid. We help our neighbors who have fallen on
hard times. We also provide referrals to other agencies when additional assistance is required.
Over 1,000 pieces of clothing and 18,000 pounds of food are given away
monthly.
Hours for Services: Mon 5-7 pm, Wed. 10-noon, Fri 10-11:30 am
In addition to our regular year-round work, we provide
three special programs:
Thanksgiving
Program
Frozen turkeys are given as well as the items necessary to
make Thanksgiving dinner.
Christmas Program
Large food baskets are given to families as well as having gifts for
the mothers to select for their children.
Back to School Program
Provide free health screenings, a mini job fair, information booths from
local agencies as well as school supplies. Over 400 Lakota School
children were a part of this program last year. This event is also
a Resource and Job Fair with representatives from various West Chester
businesses taking part. This year, the Back to School Program will
be on August 15 from 10-2 at West Chester Presbyterian Church.
Volunteers are Needed!
Thank You for Your Support!
We are supported through
donations from local churches, businesses, schools, service organizations
and individual gifts. Additional support is generated through periodic
fund raisers.
