Who Are We?
A little bit about us
Reach and Serve was founded in 2020 by Kayon Watson with the goal of alleviating status of low income people and creating lasting positive change in Ontario communities. Our mission is to empower individuals and families who face barriers in accessing financial support and essential necessities, such as food, clothing, personal care products, and more.
Our journey began four years ago, during heartfelt discussions within a local church community. These conversations highlighted the growing need for practical, hands-on support in addressing the basic needs of individuals, beyond just spiritual and pastoral care. In response, we identified financial aid and essential resources as immediate priorities, which led to the creation of Reach and Serve—an organization dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
Our food and basic needs supply program was born from this collective vision to provide immediate relief and empower individuals to regain stability. Through your generous support, we are able to deliver critical resources that address both the immediate and long-term needs of those facing food scarcity, economic inequality, and systemic challenges. Together, we are working to foster stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has access to the support they deserve.
Our Goal
One of our primary goals is to support newcomers as they settle into their new communities and assist them in supporting their families. We aim to ease their transition by providing vital resources that help them build a foundation for success.
We focus on offering material aid to low-income households in the Town of New Tecumseth, within the County of Simcoe, including the communities of Tottenham, Alliston, and Beeton, as well as Vaughan and Toronto. While our services are available to all those in need, we place particular emphasis on supporting the Black community, helping to alleviate the disproportionate impact of systemic barriers and economic challenges they face.
Through our programs, we provide essential food, clothing, personal care items, and financial support, empowering individuals and families to overcome the obstacles that hinder their ability to thrive.

Community Caring
We listen to and learn about the needs of our community. We are working to build confidence, love and a trusting relationships
with all partners. We know that it is a challenging time for many and we are here to give a helping hand. Our aim is to craft and design programs that will Relief low income household, and improve living conditions throughout our community.
We believe stigmatization of the vulnerable individuals prevents many low income families from availing themselves of food and other basic aid when these are distributed through the traditional methods of public line ups at food banks or soup kitchens, preferring instead to endure their hardships in the privacy of their homes. Our responsive innovation is to develop a roster of such families and individuals, coupled with a list of items and related quantities each particular family or individual needs or desires. We then pack the supplies in nondescript packages for either discreet delivery or pickup, using an individualized appointment system. This helps address the effects of hardship in socioeconomic disadvantaged households in the community without the added burden of stigma and shame.
