Red Shoe Crew

What is the Red Shoe Crew?

Red Shoe Crew is a student-led outreach program that promotes leadership, empathy, and community by supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities® of San Diego through classroom activities and donation collection during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.

FAQs

How does Red Shoe Crew support RMHC-SD?

Every donation collected gives families a place to escape the uncertainty and stress of the hospital for a moment, for a meal, for a nap or a shower. Just steps away from their child’s hospital bedside, there is comfort, vital care, and rest for families in great need.

What is the mission of San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House?

Ronald McDonald House Charities® of San Diego provides a “home-away-from-home” for families with children being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions at local hospitals.

How can my school get involved?
