Reach for Resources with Jason Skoog

Our speaker on November 22nd was Jason Skoog, who told us about “Reach for Resources.” Jason is the development officer for the organization.

Reach for Resources is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help people of all abilities in the metro area to live a full life. The group has been in existence for 36 years, operating under the name West Hennepin Community Health until recently. Their focus now includes the entire metro area, so they changed their name. They have an annual budget of $1,800,000., of which 95% is government funding. They provide individualized services to people who have physical or mental challenges, including adaptive recreation programs, supported community living, and advocacy for their clients.
