    • Mission

    About Us

    Rock House Kids is a faith-based ministry that provides free evening program for children from 1st grade through 12th grade. Our programming runs Monday through Thursday from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. On Mondays and Wednesdays we serve 1st through 6th grade, and Tuesdays and Thursdays we serve 7th through 12th grade.

    During our evening program we serve hot meals each night, and enjoy music and instructional time. The program is led by compassionate, adult volunteers who teach basic life skills, encourage the kids to do their best in school, and develop positive goals for their futures. Some of the topics taught are manners, self-respect, and gang violence and prevention.

    At the end of each evening, the children leave with a bag of kid-friendly, non-perishable food items to sustain their hunger. Throughout the year we provide the children with basic life essentials such as winter coats, shoes, boots, socks, underwear, personal hygiene products, hats and gloves, blankets and a pillow, school supplies, flashlights, and even birthday and Christmas presents.
