Asian Support for Black Lives Matter
It is hard to ignore current events and issues present in our community. Although REACH of Central Florida's missions is to promote and recognize Asian cultural heritage, that does not mean we will not support other minorities in their time of need. Regardless of race, culture or background we strive to support and help our community in any way we can. If you would like to educate yourself on current events and/or provide support to the BLM movement, please visit the following link: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/.
COVID-19
Due to the coronavirus and suggestions by the CDC to practice social distancing, the upcoming REACH events have been moved online or placed on hold until further notice in order to place the health and well-being of our community first and foremost. We hope that you are following instructions from local officials and staying safe! REACH has more information about how you can volunteer for others in this crisis here.
