Our Motto


Help for Today…Hope for Eternity

RHK began in 1999 with a nine-year-old boy who was running away from a dangerous home situation. Our Founder assisted him with food, clothing, school support, and other items he needed. Soon after, his friends joined him and, over the years, RHK has grown to be a safe haven for neighborhood children.

A program was developed to give them a safe place to get off the streets in the evenings where they would be fed a hot meal, mentored by loving staff and volunteers, and supplied with essentials (i.e. hygiene supplies, winter wear, etc.) they would not otherwise have the resources to buy themselves.

Since its inception, RHK has made it our mission to share God’s love with inner-city children through Biblical principles, with physical and spiritual solutions.

During our evening program, kids receive a hot meal, then enjoy music, Bible lessons and lots of fun activities. The program is led by compassionate, adult staff and volunteer mentors who use Biblical principles to teach basic life skills, encourage the kids to do their best in school, and develop positive goals for their futures. Special speakers are asked to come and share about topics like manners, purity, and gang avoidance and prevention.

At the end of each evening, the children leave with a bag of kid-friendly, non-perishable food items to help sustain them when they are away from our program. Throughout the year we provide the children with important items such as coats, shoes, boots, socks, hats and mittens, hygiene supplies, blanket and pillow, flashlight, school supplies, and even birthday and Christmas gifts.

We are always looking for caring adult volunteers to help us care for the children who are in need of mentoring and guidance!
