Happy Father's Day to all the incredible DADs out there – biological, adoptive, or foster!

Bloom extends its heartfelt gratitude to every father figure, especially our Bloom Foster Dads. Thank you for being shining examples and going above and beyond to impact a child's life. If you're interested in fostering, you can learn more at https://bloomfosters.org/our-programs/foster-parenting/.

In observance of Juneteenth, Bloom offices, including the Volunteer & Donation Center, will be closed on Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20.

We honor this day and remain committed to uplifting communities and inspiring lasting change!

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing team from Passion City Church who served with Bloom through Love Atlanta!

Their volunteers made an impact in so many ways, including:
• Pressure washing, painting, and weeding to help beautify our campus
• Sorting essential clothing and supplies that will help meet the immediate needs of children in foster care
• Providing a professional photo shoot experience for several of our foster families, creating lasting memories they will treasure for years to come

THANK YOU, Passion City Church and Love Atlanta, for investing your time, talents, and hearts into serving Georgia’s foster children and families. Your generosity helps ensure that children impacted by foster care receive the support, dignity, and encouragement they deserve.
Together, we’re helping foster children thrive. 💚💛

Help Foster Children Step into the New School Year with Confidence! 👟

Levin Orthodontics is proud to present Sharing the Love with Sneakers that Fit, a community shoe drive benefiting Bloom and honoring the legacy of Dr. Barry Levin.

From June 18 – July 31, they're collecting brand-new sneakers for children and teens in foster care across Georgia. For many foster children, a new pair of shoes is more than just footwear—it’s dignity, confidence, and the feeling of belonging.

✨ Donate NEW sneakers (any size)

📍 Drop-off locations:
• Levin Orthodontics – Marietta
• Levin Orthodontics – Sandy Springs
• Bloom Volunteer and Donation Center - Fayetteville

Can’t shop in person? You can purchase sneakers directly through Bloom’s Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/13LGWKXR8X8Q5/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

Together, we can ensure every child starts the school year with the comfort and confidence they deserve. ❤️

💛 “We’ve thought about fostering, but…”

Maybe you’ve wondered:

• What if we don’t know what we’re doing?
• What if we get too attached?
• What if we don’t have enough space, time, or money?
• What if fostering impacts our family?

The truth is, foster parents don’t need to be perfect. They simply need a willingness to provide love, stability, and support to a child who needs it.

Bloom provides training, resources, ongoing support, respite care, and a community that walks alongside foster families every step of the way.

If you’ve ever considered fostering but have questions or concerns, our latest blog addresses some of the most common fears we hear from prospective foster parents.

Bloom Needs Your Help 💛

Recent state budget cuts eliminated a $300,000 appropriation designated to support The Bloom Closet, providing free clothing, hygiene items, school supplies, and essentials to children entering foster care across Georgia.

As the need continues to grow, now more than ever, we are relying on community support to help ensure foster children receive the essentials they need during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Every donation makes a difference.

Donate today! Click link in bio or visit: https://bloomfosters.org/donate/

Together, we can continue providing dignity, confidence, and hope to children in foster care.
