Rainbow Services’ mission is to provide shelter and support to anyone impacted by domestic violence. Team Whitney launched a program for this organization to provide several "baby shower" type gift baskets for this organization’s new mothers in need. We started this project as a way to hopefully bring smiles to new moms’ faces, as their locations are hidden for protection when they seek shelter from this organization. Rainbow Services already provides them with the basic necessities such as diapers, wipes, and formula. Our baskets we donate quite often are “baby shower” type baskets, which include homemade blankets, books, baby clothes, bottles, socks, diaper bags, gift cards, baby gear, and much more for each new bundle of joy.
