How can you Help?

• MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONAITON TO DARE TO LOVE.  A cash donation allows the Rainbow Room volunteer shoppers to select what is needed most.  Donated funds also pay for special lessons, summer school and camp, tutoring, shoes, eyeglasses or help an older youth prepare to become an independent citizen.
• HOLD A DRIVE FOR THE RAINBOW ROOM.  Members of our organization can hold a drive for anything from baby clothes to cleaning supplies to school supplies to birthday gifts. 
• BECOME A DARE TO LOVE SPONSOR.  Sponsors are paired with a CPS case worker and can assist a child or group of children - usually 20-25 children, who are on the worker's caseload.  Although sponsors rarely meet the children, due to privacy concerns, they can provide holiday or birthday gifts or meet children's special needs through the case worker.

Examples of what your donation might buy:

$4.00    shampoo, lotion and a baby bottle

$8.00    2 cans of baby formula

$15.99    school clothes for a boy or girl

$24.99   a warm jacket

$56.00    blankets for a family of five
