“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.
