Rock the River 2012

It's more than a rock show. It's so much more than just a community event. This festival is making a difference year-round. Rock the River is an annual fundraiser for Hannah House, a Christian home in Fort Smith that takes in pregnant and troubled young women. 

The purpose of this organization is to offer young women a place of refuge in a warm, home-like atmosphere where they can help the girls work on the issues in their lives that brought them to Hannah House. It is a place to help them heal and become productive, caring individuals who are able to care for their babies, or to help them in making a decision to place their babies for adoption. Hannah House offers a Christian alternative to abortion by providing food, shelter, education, and assistance in obtaining medical care during the pregnancy. Counseling and Christian guidance in making a permanent plan after the birth are also opportunities made available to each young woman that lives at the home.

Typically, funding for Hannah House comes from individuals, corporations, churches, and civic groups in the Fort Smith community. However, in difficult times like these, support and funding for the Christian home are scarce at times. To Hannah House, this event is not just another concert coming to the area, Rock the River is a crucial effort to help keep their doors open year after year.
