As spring blossoms around us, we're sharing Laura Wessels' heartwarming Blueberry Buckle recipe—a beloved family tradition that brings comfort with every bite. "One of my mom's famous recipes. All of us (children and grandchildren) were excited to see a warm Blueberry Buckle come out of the oven."

With the recipe submission deadline fast approaching, Rainbow's Director of Business Development Mike Bernhagen wanted to take this opportunity to share the personal story he wrote for Rainbow's 35th anniversary cookbook.

It is designed to inspire the reader to think about the choices they might make for themselves or a loved one as they age and become seriously ill.

Knowing that the simple act of breaking bread together often encourages people to talk, we are hoping this story inspires you to submit some of your favorite recipes by May 31st!

Kindness Fund

Sometimes, you don’t need a reason to help someone. Everyone experiences kindness at some point in their life. For many people they are looking for opportunities to show a little kindness when good fortune finds them.

The Kindness Fund is just for those times. It is a way to give a small donation to provide a lasting impact in the life of a patient and their family.

Donate to Thrift Shoppe

The Rainbow Thrift Shoppe is another meaningful way to give. Your donations help stock the shop, and 100% of the proceeds stay right here in our community to support the patient care and family support programs of Rainbow Community Care.
