The Rainbow Room | Department of Family & Protective Services
Locally, this Christmas, we are gathering donations for children in the child protective services system to support the Rainbow Room—a 24/7 resource room within the Department of Family & Protective Services. This vital space allows caseworkers to access essential items for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Our local Rainbow Room supports over 900 children every month in the San Antonio area. Above, you’ll find a list of items we are collecting to help make a difference. Please note, all donated items must be new.
Financial Gift
Africa New Life Women’s Development Program
Globally, this Christmas, Wayside is excited to partner with Africa New Life Ministries to support their Women’s Development Program through a special financial gift! One aspect of this program teaches women the skill of sewing, empowering them to support their families and contribute to their communities. Upon completing the year-long training, each woman receives a sewing machine to help launch her own business. With a goal of raising $10,875, the funds we collect will directly purchase sewing machines for this year’s class of 75 women. If we reach this goal, every woman in the program will be equipped with a sewing machine!
Any funds we raise beyond this goal will be applied toward our GoServe project in January, where we will help make beds for kids in need.
