Veterans United Foundation surprised the staff at Rainbow House in Columbia this week with a check for more than one million dollars. Development Director of Rainbow House, Richie Vanskike says the money will be used to expand services to all 11 counties the organization serves.

Rainbow House has two separate functions, one being the Children’s Emergency Shelter which can house up to 18 kids.

The other is the Child Advocacy Center.
