The Rainbow Room Board is comprised of between eight and twelve dedicated volunteers. Some have been serving since the beginning. The Rainbow Room is located at the local CPS office in Conroe and is stocked with new, critical need items for children, such as: toiletries, clothing, backpacks, snacks, shoes, diapers, as well as comfort toys like stuffed animals and books. The Board members take turns maintaining the room two to three days a week making sure provisions are in place and ready for the CPS Caseworkers to use as needed in support of the children under their care. CPMC relies on donations from the public, as well as the support of local organizations such as the Junior League of The Woodlands and most recently, Isaiah 1 17 House.

In 2015, CPMC embraced an initiative to help alleviate a growing trend and prevent suffocation resulting from babies and very young children having to share a bed with an adult or older sibling. The goal is to provide a separate bed for every child in need of one. Since its inception, the Rainbow Room and its volunteers have provided new beds and bedding for well over 500 children!
