Board of Directors and Committee Members

Many community members have dedicated their time and effort into the planning, evolution, growth, and operation of the RHCHC.

A special thank you is extended to all of the community members who continue to donate their time to cook, bake and work at fundraising events. Also to those who continue to make generous Memorial Donations.
