03/26/2024: Help us support kids in need
Who is the Rainbow Room?
The Rainbow Room is an emergency resource room that exists to ensure the children in the care of CPS receive basic provisions they need when removed from their home because of abuse and/or neglect.
What Members First is doing
Members First is partnering with both the Nueces County and Rio Grande Valley Rainbow Rooms through the end of April by accepting monetary and in-person donations of items on their wish list from our staff and our membership across all locations!
