At Ruiz 4 Kids, we know one child can make a difference. We began in 1990 because of one ill child. The high quality of care provided by a local
children’s hospital, inspired a group of Ruiz Foods employees to find a way to help other kids.
Since that day in 1990, Ruiz 4 Kids has become an important link in providing resources
and programs to enhance and improve the lives of children and youth—due to just one child.
