The parties for our kids are done (watch for pics coming soon!) and they are off on their Christmas break. So, the RHK staff took some time yesterday to enjoy a little party of our own. After a potluck of various holiday goodies, we exchanged Secret Santa gifts. Then it was time for games. One in particular is a yearly tradition - the Saran Wrap Ball! If you are looking for a game guaranteed to bring tons of laughter, this is it. Unwrapping a ball of plastic wrap while wearin

From Our RHK Executive Director: Each Snowflake, Each Child - Wonderfully Made!
As you look closely at the snowflakes the kids have made, you notice how each one is unique. No two are the same - just like the snowflakes outside, and like the children who made them. Each boy and girl who walks through our doors is uniquely created by God, with their own personality, strengths, and story.

Thank you, Try-Beta Club
Wow! The Try-Beta Club did it again. This morning RHK received a very generous grant for $3500 to help cover the rising costs of fuel for our vans. This is a big help in us being able to offer transportation for some of the kids in our program who would not otherwise have a way to attend our evening program. Try-Beta honored not only RHK, but many other organizations in the the Rockford area who serve the kids in our community. Club members work hard to raise funds throughout

RHK Real Re-Wind
This year was all about keeping it real, giving our guests a taste of what the kids experience when they attend our evening programs. Everyone became “Rock House Kids” for the night. Just like on program nights, all who came received a hot meal, were safe, and received a nugget of Jesus - the three marks of a good night at RHK.

We’re Making Our Lists
Throughout the month of October, we sat down with each of our kids and teens to put together their Christmas wish lists. They tell us three items they want for Christmas (must be under $40). Usually, they ask for something for themselves, but it’s not uncommon for them to ask for something for a family member instead. We then pass on those list to those who ask to sponsor our kids for Christmas. One of the highlights of our year is watching them open their gifts at our annual
