The Service Committee is pleased to announce that our first project this year will support the Bloom Closet in Rome. Initially, we shared in Mrs. Jones' newsletter that we were collecting warm coats and clothing, but local businesses have generously taken on that initiative. Bloom Closet has now asked us to shift our support to a different need; hygiene products, warm accessories and board games.
Who is the Bloom Closet?
The Bloom Closet, located at Restoration Rome, provides essential support for foster children who often arrive with only the clothes they’re wearing. This service offers free clothing, hygiene items, books, toys, and school supplies, ensuring that each child can choose what they need. Bloom Closet’s work also helps at-risk families and foster caregivers, giving them resources to support the children in their care
What to Donate:
Where: Homeroom classes. Our hope is for everyone to bring in at least one item.
When: Nov. 6-13
Why: Your donations will directly support foster children in need within our community. Let’s work together to make a difference!
