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.

Our mission

At DFW Reach, our mission is simple: to reach hearts and change lives through acts of kindness and service. We strive to support individuals and families in need by providing food, clothing, and essential resources while inspiring youth to become active leaders in their communities. Every project we take on is rooted in compassion, unity, and the belief that small actions can make a big difference.

Our vision

Our vision is to build a stronger, more connected DFW community where kindness leads and everyone has access to the support they need to thrive. We aim to grow DFW Reach into a lasting movement of young people dedicated to service, empathy, and change — creating a future where giving back becomes a way of life.
