Rainbow Room Collection Drives
Collection Drives for the Rainbow Rooms are a great and fun way for your church, school, business or other organization to provide for the critical needs of the abused, neglected and needy children of Fannin County. Here's just a few creative ideas to get you going:
* Undy Sunday –underwear and diapers
* Baby Shower – host a baby shower and collect blankets, clothes, diapers, etc.
* Greeting Card Party – greeting cards for birthdays, “just thinking of you” and holidays
* BooBoo Kits – fun band-aids, first aid supplies, etc.
* Get the Bugs Out – lice medication kits, insect spray, flea spray, rodent traps, etc.
* Bountiful Baskets/Buckets – household cleaners, sponges, brooms, mops, rubber gloves, etc. in laundry baskets or plastic buckets
* Spring cleaning – laundry basket with laundry detergent and household cleaning supplies
* Fresh Start – toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, combs, other personal hygiene products
* Back to School – backpacks, notebook paper, pencils, pens, crayons, notebooks and other supplies
* Pennies from Heaven – collect pennies, make collection jars
* Making Change – collect spare change
* Best Foot Forward – collect shoes, socks and/or sneakers
* Sock Hop – have a dance to collect socks
* Pajama Party – have a PJ party and collect pajamas, slippers, pillows and blankets
* Coats for Kids – coats, jackets
* Bed & Bath party – sheets, blankets, pillowcases, towels, wash cloths
* Blue Jean Day – collect blue jeans for the Rainbow Room or let people wear blue jeans to work for a donation to the Children’s Center
We can bring you a Christmas tree decorated with seasonal tags for an "Angel Tree" type of drive at any time of the year. For example, the tree could be decorated in heart cut-outs in February or with flag cut-outs in July. Your imagination is the limit!
Please contact Sandy Barber at the Fannin County Children’s Center at (903) 583-4339 before conducting any drive on our behalf to discuss our current needs and your plans and ideas.
