Rainbow Room of Rockwall County

Rockwall County is a wonderful place to live, and it's hard to imagine that there could be children here who are forgotten, abused and neglected. But we know it does happen. The Rainbow Room provides for the immediate and urgent needs of these children, and supports the Child Protective Services caseworkers who help them.

When a caseworker has to remove a child from the home due to abuse or neglect, that child often comes into care with just the clothes on his back. There is no provision by the state to meet the child's immediate needs, and the Rainbow Room fills that gap.

The Rainbow Room is filled with emergency supplies such as diapers, formula, hygiene items, school supplies, which the caseworker can access any time of the day or night, to get the things they need for their kids. Other items, such as clothes, car seats and beds, are purchased as needed.

Ultimately, we want to help keep these children safe, and to help them reach their full potential. We want them to get a good night's sleep in their own bed, and to go to school wearing nice clothes that fit well, ready to take on the world. And most importantly, we want them to know that someone cares about them.

Our Needs

Special Projects:

Backpack Project - Before school starts we provide each child with a backpack filled with all the required school supplies so they will be ready to start the new school year.

Klothes For Kids - Every Spring and Fall, we provide a $100 - $150 (depending on age) gift card for each child to purchase new clothes. We know it's a huge boost to a child's self-esteem to go to school dressed like their friends, in nice clothes that fit well.
