At RMHC of the Capital Region, we provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families and promote healing when children need healthcare.
Read for RMHC-CR is a reading and literacy-based community service program that gives participants the opportunity to volunteer their time to support the children and families served by RMHC of the Capital Region. Kids get to help other kids as they improve literacy skills and learn about community service. March boasts the highest participation of the year, making it a key month for the initiative.
Your donations bring comfort, hope, strength and love to children and families facing serious health challenges in our community. In addition to monetary gifts, items from our program wish lists help keep our pantries stocked, facilities cleaned and most pressing needs met. They ensure that we are able to provide all the resources and amenities a family may need during their time with us, so they can stay focused on what matters most — their child’s health and well-being.
