Lisa Bubela shares how volunteering at RHK has impacted her life.

Some of our kids/teens received new wheels this past week! We keep a list of all our kids who need bikes, then draw names to see who will...

One of my favorite memories was when the kids came to my church for a Christmas Party. At the end of the night, we had a dance party. I had the best time dancing with one of the kids. It was so much fun and sealed the deal for me to volunteer at RHK. Another favorite memory was seeing some of the kids get baptized. Watching their faces light up with excitement was priceless. The kids keep me coming back. I enjoy the relationships I have made with them and learn a lot from the

School’s out! Time to gather the items our kids will need this summer. Your gifts make it possible for us to provide the little things most of take for granted will be there.

Now you can order RHK gear for yourself (and your family and friends!) to wear and show your support for our kids. Plus, 20% of every purchased will be donated back to RHK to help continue the work.

Red Robin is famous for their amazing gourmet burgers and bottomless steak fries. They also have a big heart for the Rockford community. We are very excited they will be hosting our RHK Big Eats Tour on Thursday, June 26.

June is our promotion month. June is when our Solid Ground kids and teens move up to their next school grade and begin adjusting to the new challenges that come with it. This can be a scary time for some of them.

Last weekend RHK staffers - Corie and Kayla, joined in with the Midtown District  by participating in their Adopt-a-planter project. Along with 11th district Alderman Jamie Salgado, Samantha Bentley- with Dharma Foundation and Broadway Reimagined, and others from the association. the group planted colored flowers in the large planters that line our 7th Street.

Thank you for coming Burch Dental!

Recently, we introduced prayer jars to our kids. When any of the kids or teens has a prayer request they would like others to pray for, they can write it on a prayer slip and put it in the jar. They choose whether they want to put their name on it or not. These requests are put up in the hallway outside of our chapel so that the other kids, volunteers, and staff can stop and pray for them.

Calling all prayer warriors! The spiritual battle for our kids is real and can be intense, but we know there is power in prayer!

On May 2, it was our great privilege to honor our incredible, faithful, committed, brilliant, beautiful (add your adjective here!) volunteer team with a special dinner to show our appreciation for all they do for our kids. 

Last weekend, our 4th & 5th-graders got out of the city and spent a few days at Phantom Ranch Camp in Mukwonago, WI.
