- How we
Provide for an
Emergency
Situation:
- The Walker County CPS Board works closely with state children’s protective services case workers and investigators to provide both emergency assistance through the resources of the local CPS Board’s RAINBOW ROOM as well as ongoing support for both children and caregivers in the foster care program. The RAINBOW ROOM is located in the Huntsville CPS office suite on south Hwy 75 and is stocked with items from clothing and shoes (for infants to teens) and personal care items from diapers to teddy bears.

- How we operate:
- + The Board operates strictly on donations from individuals and organizations, donated jury duty pay, and special fundraiser events. This money is used to maintain the Rainbow Room and the Christmas Cheer Club as well as other special needs as required and approved by the board. In addition the Board provides support for specialized training for foster parents and caseworkers.
