Photo of Willie Hernandez on the left side. There is a quote on the the right which reads "“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.”
