comfort and care delivered to a child, right when they need it most.
Bloom Direct is Bloom’s rapid-response program designed to support children in the earliest and most vulnerable moments of entering foster care.
Within the first 48 hours of placement, we deliver thoughtfully curated comfort boxes filled with essential items and small touches of care, helping meet immediate needs while offering reassurance during a time of uncertainty.
For many children, this transition is sudden and overwhelming. Bloom Direct shows children they are not alone.
“The kids absolutely loved the shoes and clothes in their Bloom Direct box, and everything matched their needs and style perfectly! One of my little girls even got glittery, pink shoes, which are her favorite! I couldn’t believe it—just two days after filling out the form, two big boxes showed up on my front porch filled with everything the kids needed. I was honestly amazed!”
-Peggie Phillips (Foster Parent- Montgomery County)
what’s inside a bloom direct box
In addition to essentials, children receive personalized clothing packages tailored to their size, style, and preferences, giving them the joy of opening something chosen just for them.
Each box is thoughtfully packed to meet both practical and emotional needs, and may include:
- Clothing and basic toiletries
- School supplies and everyday essentials
- A cozy blanket for comfort
- A stuffed animal they can call their own
- Art supplies, a puzzle, a book, or a game
“I didn’t expect a program like this to exist for kids in foster care. I really loved the clothes in my box. I wear basketball shorts every day, so getting new ones was awesome! I also loved the books—especially the Pokémon book because I love Pokémon. Thank you so much for everything you sent me!”
– Travis (17-year-old Foster Child-Candler County)
