Kids Helping Kids

Give back — it’s never too early to start.

Watch Reese and Riley share why they give.

#KidsHelpingKids – Reese and Riley know how it feels for strangers to show up for them during tough times. When they were in the hospital, people gave them gifts that made things feel a little more normal. When their house burned down in September 2021, people sent them a warehouse full of San Francisco Giants baseball cards to replace their lost collection. Now, they’re giving back to kids at the Ronald McDonald House. Mom, Dad, and their girls donated baseball-themed gifts to our #ComfortAndJoy Drive. Reese wanted to say one thing: Go Giants!

How to Be a Kid Helping Kids

Donate Snack Packs

The families we house and serve spend hours at a time in the hospital, at beside or in appointments. Snack packs can provide patients and families with the energy to sustain them through their busy days. Make it fun! You can even get your school involved, like Avery did.

Donate Your Birthday

A birthday is a special opportunity to learn what it means to give back. How does this work?

  1. Decide what kind of donations you want. (toys and care items, monetary, ect.)
  2. Let your family and friends know that instead of presents, you’ll be accepting donations to RMHC Bay Area.

It’s that easy!
