March 2024

The Rainbow Room is a 24 hours / 7 day resource center located in the Child Protective Services (CPS) office where caseworkers can gather new and essential items needed for the kids in their caseload whose lives are in crisis.  The Rainbow Room is in constant need of brand new items for the more than 700 children it serves each month.

This March, we at Austin AFP are excited to invite our members, guests, and their friends and coworkers to join us in a wonderful initiative. We'll be collecting donations to replenish the Rainbow Room's stock of hygiene items, and we'd love your help!

You can either bring your donations to our March Austin AFP meeting or buy directly from the Amazon Wish List we've set up. It's super easy – if you purchase from the Wish List, the items can be delivered straight to our Community Service Committee Chair, the fantastic Bobbie Bishop. Simply use the QR code below to find the Amazon Wish List. Thanks for being a part of this!

WILCOCAC

Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center is a 5801c3 nonprofit that works with law enforcement and CPS in their child abuse investigations, providing free services to the child victim and family. WCCAC also provides free education training throughout the community. 

 

Needs:

    • Individually Packaged Snacks                                                              AMAZON SNACK WISH LIST
    • Bottled Water
    • Gift cards for:

    • Art Supplies
    • Blankets

The Center's mission is to reduce trauma for children during the investigation and prosecution of crimes against children.

Every day, the Center serves approximately 3-5 new children who have either been physically abused, sexually abused, or have witnessed a violent crime. They arrive at the Center, bravely tell their story to a professional, and begin their journey to justice and healing. Without the support of the Travis County community, this opportunity wouldn't be possible for these young victims.
