Cinco de Clean Up















Our annual May garden and grounds clean-up event has blossomed! What started 10 years ago to kick off the planting season has expanded as we've grown to include three areas: RCH backyard gardens, the church lot across the street, and Roberti Culinary Pathway.

"Clean up" day is a great opportunity for all of us to join in and to give back to our community. It is wonderful to see so many people involved with us, rolling up their sleeves, working together, and sweating for a greater purpose. Our heartfelt thanks to all who joined us in the gardens. It was a great community building opportunity that was made A+ with the sun shining! All three gardens look great and we are now ready to GROW. Thank you so much to DK Organics for their donations of compost and Lincolnshire Garden Club. 
 
Our volunteers spread good deeds and flower seeds that blossom where they have been. We are so grateful for all that they do. 
Help Fight Hunger
Get registered and ready for our 4th Annual 5k Fundraiser!
 
Every dollar raised at our 5K event goes directly towards our emergency food support program. This program continues to meet the needs of those going through challenges. You can help support underserved families and areas who have inadequate food to improve their access to healthy foods. 

Roberti Community House targets the underserved with short-term assistance and we work hard to secure fresh produce and make freshly prepared meals to nourish everyone who receives assistance.
Emergency food support consists of three separate efforts: 
  • Daily Lunches
  • Produce Boxes
  • Prepared Meals

NEW THIS YEAR!

Let everyone walk with PRIDE!

Many of our community members struggle to meet their own basic needs yet still volunteer their time and talents at RCH. Help us include them by sponsoring a neighborhood group/family! Sponsor a group of 4 neighbors for $100 or a group of 10 for $200!

Self Care & Community Health

Reflecting on Mother’s Day, I’m reminded of what my mom would tell us about taking care of ourselves. The importance of eating healthy, having fun with exercise, getting plenty of rest and most importantly spending time with people.
 
Self-care is taking time for yourself; getting your nails done and chatting with friends.
Self-care is preventative healthcare.
 

Self-care is spending time outside in the fresh air.
Self-care is stretching.
 
Self-care is eating healthy.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
