Get to know us

DFW Reach, Inc. began with a simple idea — a small group of students wanted to make a real difference in their community. Founded by Noah Abuga, Timi Afilaka, Brandon Okoje, and Kyle Mekenye in 2025, DFW Reach started as a youth-led effort to help those in need across the Dallas–Fort Worth area. What began as a small act of kindness, handing out sandwiches, water, and essential supplies, quickly grew into a movement dedicated to serving the community through compassion and action.

Our mission is to “Reach hearts, change lives — one act of kindness at a time.” We focus on providing food, clothing, and support to individuals and families facing hardship, while encouraging other young people to get involved and give back.

Even as we work toward becoming an officially recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every outreach, donation, and event we organize is driven by purpose and community spirit. At DFW Reach, we believe that meaningful change begins with those willing to take the first step — and we’re proud to keep reaching further together.
