Rainbow Room

What is the Rainbow Room?

The Rainbow Room is an emergency resource center located within Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County to provide our partners, including Child Protective Services, immediate access to essential items for children in crisis, completely free of charge. This store-like room is stocked with new items for children from birth to 18 years of age, including:

• clothing
• shoes
• hygiene products
• toys
• baby items, and more

Day to day functioning of the Rainbow Room is handled by a group of 7 committed volunteers. These volunteers keep the room fully stocked, organized and clean.

Who does the Rainbow Room help?

• 1,178 children received services through the Rainbow Room last year
• Children who are removed from their homes and placed in foster care
• Children who live with relatives that receive little financial support from the state

In the past, caseworkers dipped into their own pockets to provide the basic items that most families take for granted. This only added to the stress of their job. Now, caseworkers can use this emergency resource center to offer tangible help to families in need.

Sometimes the difference between whether a child can go to school is a simple pair of shoes. The goal of the Rainbow Room is to eliminate that barrier.

How you can help the Rainbow Room

Donate new items (clothing, hygiene products, etc.). Get your neighborhood, school, church group or corporation involved by holding a clothing drive, shoe drive or diaper drive.
