Community

One way you can support our program is through a financial gift. Rainbow In My Tummy® relies heavily on foundation and individual support to provide our services to children in Western North Carolina. Your support allows us to provide our services to implemented centers including training sessions, program assessments and support materials. Consider making a financial contribution, advocating for improved food service programs, and/or implementing one or more of our strategies in your home.

​The Mission Health System has a strong commitment to the health of our community. Their support of Rainbow In My Tummy® is one of the primary reasons we are impacting over 1,300 young children in our community every day.
