Rainbow Council's 'STUFF THE HOLIDAYS WITH LOVE' NEW Stuffed Animal Drive-

Right after Thanksgiving, Rainbow Council will start collecting NEW stuffed animals for abused, homeless, low income, traumatized, and ill children in Los Angeles.   We collect stuffed animals (rather than toys or books) because stuffed animals can be carried by these children everywhere we go.  In fact, when Rainbow Council goes to the shelters each year to give out the NEW stuffed animals, they discover that the children are still carrying the stuffed animal they received from Rainbow Council the previous year; that is how important these stuffed animals are to these children.  So, PLEASE find it in your heart to purchase a NEW stuffed animal to donate to our drive and try to purchase a stuffed animal, which is sturdy enough to survive a year wherever these children go.
