StreetReach Support team and volunteers

Our Story

Born on the Streets. Built by the Community.

StreetReach Support started with a folding table, a pot of soup, and a belief that every person deserves to be seen.

Our Mission

We exist to meet the immediate needs of people experiencing food insecurity and homelessness in our community — with dignity, consistency, and compassion. No barriers. No judgment. Just help.

Dignity First

Every person we serve is treated with the same respect we'd want for ourselves or our families.

Show Up Consistently

We don't cancel when it rains. Our community depends on us, and we take that seriously.

No Red Tape

No ID required. No appointment needed. We believe help should be simple to access.

Community-Led

Our volunteers and donors are our neighbors. This work belongs to all of us.

How We Started

In 2014, founder Steve Medeiros began handing out essential supplies to people in need on the streets. He began cooking extra meals on Sunday evenings and walking them to people she'd see sleeping near the downtown transit station.  Within a year, they'd served over 2,000 meals.

What started as one man's Sunday ritual became StreetReach Support — a registered nonprofit with a pantry, a volunteer network and programs that reach hundreds of individuals every year.
