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.
