The Rainbow Room is an emergency resource room available to caseworkers 24/7 for CPS and foster children in need. It provides essentials such as hygiene items, diapers, formula, blankets, pack and plays for safe sleep, toys for comfort, clothing and much more. The room is 100% community funded and is overseen by the Rainbow Room Executive Board of volunteers.

Children’s needs do not stop after hours or during the holidays. Therefore, this room was created so that workers can get needed essentials for the children without delay and when they need it the most. It also gives the children the message that they matter, are loved and have the community support beside them because they are worth it

Any child that CPS is working with. This can include a foster child which is a child that has entered foster care or a CPS child which is a child that CPS is working with and is still living at home with their family.
