About Us

WithinReach is a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to serve as the foremost catalyst for improvements in maternal, child and family health.

For 22 years, we have been working to ensure optimal health for all families in Washington by connecting them to the programs, resources and information they need to build healthy families.

Our long-standing public-private partnerships with the Washington State Department of Health, the Department of Social and Health Services, the WIC program and others make it possible for us to reach thousands of families each year.

We are committed to serving all Washington families and removing barriers of language, socio-economics, and access.
