Thursday, Oct. 22 | 12:00 p.m. PT | Virtual Lunch & Learn
Join us for WithinReach’s Annual Impact Update: Gather. Ground. Grow., a 60-minute virtual Lunch & Learn where we’ll share highlights from the FY2026 Impact Report and celebrate the people, partnerships and systems that make this work possible.
This year, we’re taking a closer look at Food Access and the many ways WithinReach and our partners are working to make support easier for families to find. You’ll hear real-world stories from across our work, including a Help Me Grow Washington Resource Navigator, a statewide health care partner and members of the WithinReach leadership team.
Together, we’ll explore how our holistic approach connects families to essential food, health and child development resources, what we’re learning through partnerships across Washington, and how those insights are helping strengthen systems of support.
Come gather with us, reflect on the impact we’ve made together and see where we’re growing next.
