Programs on Display at the Market
The Reach Glass Program gives members the opportunity to create custom glass pieces while earning a paycheck. From suncatchers and holiday ornaments to jewelry and tableware, the designs reflect the creativity and dedication of their makers. All proceeds go back into the program to fund materials, pay participants, and keep the studio thriving.
The Greenhouse at Reach Unlimited supports four Cypress-area community gardens and has produced over 4,000 pounds of fresh produce to fight food insecurity. Members are involved in every step—from sowing seeds to crafting arrangements—and learn valuable gardening and employment skills.
Reach Microgreens is the newest initiative, where members grow flavorful, nutrient-dense microgreens from non-GMO seeds. These are sold to local residents, restaurants, and caterers and are harvested with food safety practices in a dedicated grow facility. The project now employs 10 Reach members part-time and is expanding to meet growing demand.
A Market With Heart
Every product purchased at the Reach Unlimited Holiday Market contributes to a larger mission—offering dignity, purpose, and independence to people with developmental disabilities. The programs are structured to match members’ unique abilities with meaningful work, creating a cycle of empowerment and community integration.
