Thank you, TC Energy Foundation!

Thank you, TC Energy Foundation, for your donation of $2,353.60 to help replace some of the worn flooring at Rainbow House, our domestic violence shelter. These upgrades will allow us to safely move donations and commodities for our food pantry into storage. These improvements will also greatly help to create a welcoming and functional space for survivors and their children.  On behalf of those we serve, please accept our gratitude!

 

Oconto Crime Prevention Board provides forensic evidence cameras

Rainbow House is collaborating with the Oconto County Sheriff’s Office in expanding the number of forensic evidence cameras available for Law Enforcement to document the hidden signs of domestic violence.  This grant is made possible through the Oconto Crime Prevention Board, which increases public awareness of and provides financial assistance to crime prevention programs in Oconto County, Wisconsin. Financial support is given to existing programs and for the implementation of new crime prevention programs that break the crime triangle.
