The Soul of a Community, Shared Through Song.

The Rockford Register Star is proud to be a sponsor of Blues On The Rock, a local, two-day music festival featuring some of the most popular artists on the blues scene today. Blues On The Rock enriches the cultural landscape of our town, providing an outlet for self expression and diversity.

Headline:

A Sense of Hope to Those in Need.

Body:

MotherHouse Crisis Nursery serves a critical role. Without it and other caring organizations, there would be little hope for many families in our community.

When MotherHouse faced financial problems the newspaper stepped in to help. Our stories and our readers made sure MotherHouse stayed open.

We connect those in need to those who can help, and we strive to do our part, too, with programs like the Empty Stocking Club and United Way.
