Virtual

"Raffle for Rainbow" is an online "basket" raffle that raises funds for our shelter. You buy as many tickets as you wish and put them in virtual baskets related to the prize(s) you'd like to win. We first tried it 6 years ago in lieu of an in-person event and it went very well. Every year it gets better!
This year's raffle runs from October 23rd through December 6th. You can enter the raffle at bit.ly/RaffleforRainbow2026.
We hope you'll play and wish you good luck!
 About Rainbow Place Shelter:
For 44 years Rainbow Place Shelter has provided emergency hypothermia shelter to women in Montgomery County Maryland. Rainbow has 25 beds available each night, from November through March. Rainbow is small, but mighty. Well over 3000 women have stayed at Rainbow over the years, and during those years Rainbow has added services well beyond providing shelter. Rainbow’s guests receive a warm, safe place to sleep, 3 meals a day, access to showers, laundry facilities, case management, and referrals to local social services, treatment and housing programs. Rainbow provides all these services while treating every person with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Now Rainbow is working to expand the hours and season of its women’s shelter, as well as increase the number of beds available each night. Rainbow is also in the process of expanding its services to young adults (ages 18 - 24) in Montgomery County, including the LGBTQ+ community, with year-round, 24 hour, emergency shelter and the supports needed to transition out of homelessness. Rainbow’s new young adult shelter will house 30 guests and will offer services including mental health and substance abuse treatment/counseling, GED assistance, legal services, workforce development, and much more. Rainbow will bring all its experience and resources to this new population, who will certainly benefit at a critical time in their lives from Rainbow’s smaller size and caring staff.
