Today we want to thank our RHK Real Mountain Sponsor - J&M Plating, for their generous support in helping to make our annual fundraiser succeed.

Our middle school teens just finished up a 10-week program called “Too Good for Drugs.”

If you have ever wondered what it is like for our kids and volunteers at RHK, we encourage you to come to our RHK Open House on June 11. Our staff will give you a tour, walking you through what a night at our evening program looks like.

We had a wonderful visit from our friend Maisie from LaMision Coffee Roasting today. Every month, Eddie and Maisie choose a local organization to bless with 25% of the proceeds for the month, and RHK was chosen for the month of April. What a blessing! Thank you. Eddie and Maisie Sanchez - You guys rock! Check out the variety of fresh roasted coffee they have for sale on their website.

Last month, Rock House Kids joyfully accepted a check for a $25,000 grant from the Derry Family Foundation.

We had a great surprise visit today from our friends at First Northern Credit Union. Over the course of just one month, their members collected a total of $1800 to support the kids at RHK! What a blessing! We want to thank each one who gave to make this possible. You guys rock!

We want to thank all those who came out to the RHK Art Auction and Townhall meeting last Friday. The art pieces our kids made raised $420 for the Broadway Food Pantry. Plus, The Dharma Foundation matched it 100%, for a total of $840. What a blessing!

RHK welcomed a surprise visit from our friends at J.L. Clark.

RHK was blessed to receive a $1500 grant from the @alpinekiwanis Club. We are excited to have these funds to help purchase hot meals for the kids on the evenings when we do not have a meal provider to donate the meal.

Last December, at our Annual Wrapping Party, the Kiwanis Club of Rockford presented RHK with a special gift - a new cotton candy machine!

Last week our friends from the Heritage Sundstrand Steak Club dropped by with a generous donation for RHK. They have been supporting Rock House kids for many years and we so appreciate their faithful support and heart for our kids.

A very special celebration was held at RHK this week. Aktion Club and Kiwanis Club members gathered in our gym to present us with a new bench for our kids to enjoy on the playground.

You never know what a day will hold. Last week, RHK was given a very unexpected, very cool opportunity to get out in the community and introduce more people to Rock House Kids.

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 receives a $5,000 donation from Meijer Store #281. We had some special visitors this week. Our friends from Meijer stopped by with a very generous $5,000 donation. They told us the employees had chosen RHK to receive this gift and that means the world to us! Thank you, Meijer! RHK depends on support from our community to be able to meet the needs of the kids we serve and we are truly grateful. You guys rock!

Wow! RHK was chosen as this year's nonprofit spotlight for the ComEd Power Of Change giving program.

Big thanks going out to Bucciferro Family McDonald's for providing dinner for our kiddos this past Wednesday night. We had a last minute cancelation and they stepped up in a big way to make sure they received a hot meal. As you can tell by the big smiles, the kids were slightly excited when they found out what was for dinner that night.

We had a visit from our friends at American Control Electronics this morning. Wow! They just wrapped up a three-week collection drive for RHK.

Our friends from Forest City Church made our RHK end of summer trip to Lockwood Park the best one yet

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.
