GTCP supports local Community Partners in providing for the needs of children in CPS care by:
• Establishing statewide programs benefiting children
• Providing guidance for program development
• Training volunteers and board members
• Assisting with fundraising strategies
• Developing individual, business and corporate partnerships, through the Purchasing Partnerships Program, enabling local Par
tners to purchase needed items at reduced rates
Rainbow Rooms: The Rainbow Room is an emergency resource center available to CPS caseworkers to help them meet the critical needs of abused and neglected children. Stocked with all new items, Rainbow Rooms provide clothing, shoes, underwear, baby formula, school supplies and hygiene items to children entering foster or relative care and children in their own homes who live below the poverty line. To support your Rainbow Room, you can:
• Conduct a community drive to collect diapers, formula, or other critically needed items
• Volunteer to help shop or stock items
• Support your local Rainbow Room through a cash donation or through the virtual Rainbow Room drive. Participating in the Virtual Rainbow Room drive enables you to help your Rainbow Room provide the most critically needed items to their children without ever leaving your home! You just shop through the internet on a specially designed site that lists the top ten needs of the room in your area.
