Bloom by the Numbers (this past quarter)

What's Happening in Our Homes

Each day in our program is a huge accomplishment for our residents as they work hard to make a better life for themselves. The following are some of our participants' milestones and activities they have participated in this past month: 

• Two participants celebrated two years clean!
• One participant celebrated one year clean!
• The residents participated in the Red Sand Project, an awareness activity lead by the Lehigh Valley Anti-Trafficking (LVAT) week.
• Participants took a trip to Dorney Park and also to the beach.

Current Needs for our Homes

It takes a lot of resources to operate our five homes and ensure we are providing our survivors with what they need to heal and rebuild their lives. Currently, we are in need of:

• Van for our Mountain Laurel House residents (mothers and babies).
• Refrigerator (new or gently used) for one of our homes.
• Gift cards for grocery shopping (i.e. Giant, Weis, Walmart, ShopRite, PriceRite). Anything helps.
• Visit our Amazon Wish List for an on-going list of items we need to take care of the women and babies in our homes.

Call our office at 610-866-5755 or email us if you may be able to help. 

We will celebrate the graduation of a Bloom participant

and hear the courageous stories of three survivors.

Our evening will conclude with worship music and a candle-lighting ceremony.

Light refreshments will be served.

The Bloom Creative Studio continues to bring in new faces each week whether to do a creative project or to visit our gift shop and view the studio. 

This month we continue with Open Clay Studio, Kids Art, Painting with Cindy Lou, and we are offering our first workshop where we will work with resin and pigment to design a colorful wooden tray. Tracy Tyson will be leading the workshop and we are very excited to have her share her talent. Check out our website and sign up for a class.

It won’t be long before fall is here. If you are thinking you might want to have an

event or gathering with friends, please consider booking an event with the Studio for your occasion.

Also, we have a short wish list for the studio. 

We are looking for:

-hair dryers

-an ironing board

-a sander

(nothing needs to be new, just in working condition)

Have a great rest of your summer.

Bloom follows the model and is a sister community of the remarkably successful Thistle Farms Nashville program. In addition, the Bloom Creative Studio, located in Bangor, Pa., is a social enterprise to leverage art as a healing tool and provide employment opportunities for survivors. Bloom also has a women’s upscale, resale boutique, My Sister’s Closet, based in Bethlehem, Pa., providing employment opportunities for survivors and financial support for the organization.
