Rockford is experiencing extreme winter weather with snow, ice, and some of the coldest wind chills on record. Here at SecondFirst Church we’ve recognized a tremendous need in our community for safe and warm overnight accommodations. In an effort to fill this need we have established the Rockford Overnight Cafe. This program aims to provide a warm, well-lit and fully-supervised gym with tables and chairs, movies and cards, coffee and hot chocolate. And while we recognize this isn’t the ideal place to spend a night, it is a suitable option if the heat goes out or the fuel burns up, or if you have no shelter from the elements. No matter who you are or what circumstances led you to needing a warm place to spend the night, you are welcome here!

You can even bring a furry friend (we have accommodations for pets and folks with pet allergies).  Because no one should die in the cold in this great city.
