Jurupa Valley Dia de los Muertos | |
Reach Out's Inagural Jurpa Valley Dia de los Muertos Event Attracts Over 3,500 Attendees | |
Reach Out held its inaugural Jurpa Valley Dia de los Muertos event on Saturday, October 15. The community event was free and open to the public, drawing over 3,500 Jurupa Valley and surrounding residents. The event created a sense of cohesiveness bringing people together from all walks of life to celebrate cultural traditions. Special guests included Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, and Jurupa Valley City Council members Lorena Barajas, Guillermo Silva, and Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Altamirano.
Dia de los Muertos was hosted by Reach Out in partnership with Division 9 Gallery. The first-of-its-kind event in the city, not only provided space for the community to unite in celebrating the lives of their passed loved ones, but also offered residents a free family-driven local event that commemorates Jurupa Valley’s rich history.

Safety is in Everyone's Hands
Reach Out's Environmental Prevention team partnered with the City of Upland's Police Department on Friday, November 4th, and distributed a total of 200 flyers to motorists during their DUI & Driver's License Checkpoint.
The flyers contain information about safe and responsible drunk driving alternatives:
• Plan your ride home before the party
• If someone you know has been drinking, DO
NOT let them drive
• If you're hosting a party, make sure all guests
leave with a sober driver
• Always wear your seatbelt

Giving Tuesday is November 29th! | |
|
As 2022 comes to a close, we are grateful for the many successes as well as some of the challenges we have overcome this year. The Pandemic had a distressing impact on communities, particularly the underserved population. In 2022, we saw an increase in depression, suicide, alcoholism, and substance use, particularly in youth ages 12-17. Reach Out has several programs that addressed mental health and our organization could not continue to provide the necessary resources to help strengthen communities without the continued support from our valued partners and community members.
