Mission

Blossom is a 501c3 nonprofit organization on a mission to provide essential needs to children in emergency circumstances. Our resources include packaged kits which contain toiletries, hygiene products, diapers, wipes, school supplies, school uniforms, and undergarments for all ages which are dedicated to children throughout the year. We strive to reach children who often lack essential resources in unforeseen circumstances such as tragic loss or economic instability. Our goal is to bridge the gap by assisting families immediately while they are waiting on health care, food, housing, and even child survivor's Social Security benefits from state agencies and federal programs. This reduces mental health disorders a child may experience during traumatic times.

Basic Needs for Children from Infant to Teens

At Blossom, we are on a mission to provide essential needs to children in emergency circumstances. Our resources include packaged kits which contain toiletries, hygiene products, diapers, wipes, school supplies, school uniforms, and undergarments for all ages which are dedicated to children throughout the year. We strive to reach children who often lack essential resources in unforeseen circumstances such as tragic loss or economic instability. We support children in impoverished areas and students who disadvantaged schools. In addition, we help children who have lost parents due to domestic violence, cancer, suicide, drug overdose, car accidents, and incarceration by assisting caregivers who must unexpectedly raise each child after these tragic times. Our partnered schools and nonprofits can request packaged kits electronically on our website when they recognize there is a child in need. We also accept referrals from Capital Area United Way 211 services.
