Leaders from Cessna + Beechcraft by Textron Aviation joined Rainbows United at Kids’ Cove in February to do some helpful work on our gazebo, raking leaves, repainting building numbers, and preparing activities for summer camp. Volunteer groups like Textron help keep Rainbows United prepared for the mission of enhancing the lives of children with special needs and their families by bringing together community resources and providing customized services. Rainbows serves children from birth to age 21, providing essential services that include early intervention, specialized childcare, and targeted therapies.
After the Rainbows leadership team gave a tour to Textron leaders of the facility that supports our annual summer camp, the group worked tediously to help cut, staple, paint and prepare activities for youth this summer.
“Textron Aviation is committed to enriching the communities where our employees live and work. Our strategic and creative approach to community engagement lays a solid foundation for meaningful impact. We are grateful to volunteer with organizations within our communities such as Rainbows United to continue investing in the places we proudly call home. – Lauren Howell, Textron Communications Associate
