“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
Lack of access to healthy, nourishing food undermines the health and well-being of children and families. In Montgomery County, 7% of the County’s population is estimated to be food insecure (77,780). Children are especially vulnerable to families’ economic status. Nearly 13.9% of the County’s children are estimated to be food insecure, representing 33,000 children. This number of food insecure children is higher than any other County in the state. This has only worsened with the recent pandemic.
