“No family should be without healthy, nutritious food…..”

— Pat Drumming, Executive Director, RCDC

Building Better Lives for those in need. See the work we do…..

What motivates human behavior? Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of the best-known theories of motivation. Rainbow Community Development Center seeks to help our neighbors meet some of these basic needs: Food (Physiological), Shelter (Security) and Community (Social). Through our programs and our faith, we seek to help those who need a helping hand.

Join Rainbow Community Development Center as we fill our clients carts with food and their hearts with hope.

Food Insecurity in Montgomery County

Feeding America estimates at least 33,840 of the 237,960 children (approximately 14%) in Montgomery County are food insecure, and due to the County’s high cost of living, more than an additional 76,000 children live in households without sufficient income to meet their basic needs but earning too much to qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and/or free school lunch.
