Description
Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area (RMHC Bay Area) provides communities of support, access to medical care, and the healing power of family and home for critically ill children. Thank you for your interest in supporting the children and families at RMHC Bay Area. Many of our patients and families come to us in crisis with little time to pack a bag, arriving at the hospital with just the clothes they are wearing. When we can provide them with toiletry items, a basic change of clothes as well as the ability to do laundry it provides tremendous comfort during a very stressful time.
