As the Happy Hope Factory closes in on reaching our 1 millionth hospitalized child, we recognize our extraordinary community and our devoted Factory volunteers who prep everything from pinwheels and crayons to packing and shipping our Happy Hope Boxes! Your unwavering support and dedication have been the foundation of our mission to bring hope and happiness to children in crisis across the nation and around the world. We are profoundly grateful for our amazing friends who selflessly give their time, talents, and hearts to spread hope every single day. Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey! (fb)

Earlier this month, more than 50 station team members at NBC 7 San Diego and Telemundo San Diego assembled 100 Happy Hope Bags as part of #NBCUnites Volunteer Month! These bags will help spread joy to kids receiving services at local San Diego partners, including: Ronald McDonald House, Rady Children’s Hospital, Rady Children’s Behavioral Health Urgent Care, Rady Children’s Chadwick Center for Children and Families, and kidSTART Center. Thank you to our Hope Heroes at NBC San Diego and Telemundo San Diego for sharing a boost of hope with children in your community! @workatnbcu (fb)
