The Rainbow Room is a resource center located within the CPS offices, where Partnerships for Children distributes new essential items such as clothing, formula, diapers, and hygiene supplies to victims of abuse and neglect. CPS caseworkers have access to the Rainbow Room 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Rainbow Room looks like any other children's shop. Its shelves are stocked with brand-new toys and clothing. You also see infant care supplies, stacks of tiny t-shirts and displays of outfits any child would be proud to wear to school. The only thing missing is a cash register.

Money doesn't change hands here. "Shoppers" fill out forms and help themselves. These customers are Child Protective Services caseworkers, and they're shopping for children of our community whose lives are in crisis.

Sometimes, the difference between a child who goes to school and one who doesn't is a pair of shoes, a winter coat, a notebook and pencil. Sometimes, the difference between an infant who is healthy and one who isn't is formula, clean diapers, lotions and powders -- Partnerships for Children ensures that these children will not have to go another day without things that we all take for granted.

The Rainbow Room also provides necessary items to extended family members when they suddenly find themselves parenting. Car seats and beds are examples of items we provide.

To donate new items or set up a tour of the Rainbow Room please contact Brenda Jones, Rainbow Room Coordinator, at rainbow@partnershipsforchildren.org or call 512.834-3250.
