| Back-to-School Celebration and Fall Harvest |
|
 Your donations make a difference!
Back-to-School Supply Drive
The Back-to-School Supply Drive is an annual event that provides a new backpack filled with back-to-school supplies for children residing in area homeless shelters. The backpacks and supplies are collected in August from individual and corporate donors and distributed at the 2007 Back-to-School Celebration, a carnival-like party kicking off the school year, to be held on Thursday, August 23, 2007 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm at the Dallas Market Center.
Fall Harvest Clothing Drive
Fall Harvest is an exciting annual event that provides new school clothing for approximately 350 school age children living in Dallas area homeless shelters. Often the children we serve do not have a new outfit to head back to school. So we rely on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to purchase school uniforms or clothes for the children so that they can begin the new school year with confidence and style.

Can some brand new donated outfits really make that big of a difference to the children we serve?
 You bet it can!! Over the last 4 years, Jeryl & Dan Andrews, owners of children's boutique clothing store, Animal Crackers, have donated over $230,000 in new outfits, shoes and swimsuits to benefit the homeless children we serve. The children have the opportunity to enjoy brand new clothes that are in style which makes them feel so special. We asked Jeryl why they continue to give so generously, she responded "It gives me great joy to be able to give back to children in need in our community." Thank you Animal Crackers in Plano for your continued generosity to Rainbow Days and the children we serve!
