Comfort and Joy web banner

Comfort & Joy is our biggest donation drive of the year

Rally your friends, families, co-workers, customers, and community to collect toys, basic need items, and household goods to make holidays away from home a little easier for critically ill children and their families.

During the holiday season, we host six RMHC Bay Area Toy Shops, including at our Stanford and Oakland Houses, and four Toy Shops in and near our partner hospital at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco, and satellite locations in Walnut Creek, San Ramon, and Brentwood. We need your support to serve even more families!
