Helping First Responders Comfort Children-In-Crisis

REACH-A-Child™ is a Madison-based non-profit currently partnering with First Responders in many communities across Wisconsin. This effort involves the creation of REACH BAGs which are then delivered to the offices of the First Responders. This takes time and money. As we aren’t selling the books or BAGs, we rely upon sponsors to support our program since local departments cannot include these costs in their budgets.

Our Mission & Vision

Very simply “to comfort a child-in-crisis with a book” is REACH-A-Child™’s vision. Whether the children are in an automobile accident, victims of a domestic disturbance or temporarily homeless, we help First Responders engage these children in a positive way through the power of a book.
