Collage of Cecilia Aviles with family and a quote about RMHC Bay Area’s evolving support for families, shared for Hispanic Heritage Month. QUOTE: “To be able to help families through what oftentimes is their hardest journey, keeping them together and united – that in itself is healing. The way that RMHC was serving families 25 years ago isn’t the way it’s serving families now, and it’ll be different 25 years from now, but the core values remain the same: support, access, and healing. That’s exciting to me.”

QUOTE: “The mission of RMHC resonates with me on a deeply personal level. I grew up in a family of farmworkers in the Central Valley — the same community where so many of the families we serve at the Ronald McDonald House are from. The housing and services we provide make it possible for families to access the best medical care in the Bay Area.”
