Kids look forward to celebrating their birthday all year long. Our friends with Rosie’s Birthday Club understand how important this is and do all they can to make them special for our kids.

Meet Becky. She and her husband of 27 years have a beautiful family, with four adult children. Becky went to college in Pensacola, FL and...

In September, our friends from Life Church came and hosted a special event night for our kids. They brought a bounce house and set it up...

In September, I received a call from a former RHK kid. They were struggling—homeless, sleeping on the streets, and recently hospitalized due to an infection that required surgery. As they shared their story, they weren’t asking for a handout. They weren’t looking for help—just someone to listen. But it wasn’t a one-way conversation. They wanted to know how RHK was doing. They wanted to know how I was doing. How Mr. Mike was doing. How my dogs were.

Every item you donate from our Wish List enables us to use the funds we would need to spend on those items in other critical areas to best serve our kids.

In September, we welcomed Sierra Parker, our newest staff member to RHK. She is our new Office Coordinator.

Our “elves” are already in full planning mode for Christmas at RHK! The holidays are approaching quickly and we want to make it extra-special for the 200+ kids who attend RHK. Would you like to help?

RHK now has TWO program coordinators - one for the kids and one for the teens.

I’ve been volunteering at RHK for about 10 months now, and I truly love what I do. I typically come in during the day and work with April, RHK’s Storeroom Coordinator. What I enjoy most is that every day is different. I never quite know what I’ll be doing, and that keeps it exciting.

Our staff have a great time visiting local churches and groups, sharing about the mission of RHK. Sometimes it is speaking during a church service, or helping kids in children’s church pack Kid-friendly food bags for our kids.

Guess what? We saw more than 550 students and parents attend the event! School-age kids and teens who needed them received school physicals, eye exams, backpacks with school supplies, and much more. All thanks to the 25+ different organizations and churches that came together to make sure families in the communities had what they needed to help their kids start the new school year.

It was a long day in Chicago, but our teens enjoyed a great day exploring the Museum of Science and Industry.

Many of our kids feel they have no hope and are stuck in a situation they will never be able to get out of. We continue to show them there is a way out and His name is Jesus.

Meet the McNeil family. Jaci, Jim and Jeb teach a music class for our kids on Wednesday evenings and six-year-old Viv joins the rest of the kids in our evening program. Recently, Jim and Jeb have also volunteered to drive one of our vans to pick-up and drop off kids.

Meet RHK Volunteer Coordinator, Tarah Curry!

Summer at RHK Means: Field Trips!

The kids are heading back to school already. Thank you for helping us give them a fresh start for the new year.

During these summer months, your gifts of kid-friendly food for our kids are more important than ever. We appreciate your help in making sure our kids get enough to eat while school is not in session. What a blessing!
