As back-to-school season approaches, Bloom is calling on the community to help area foster children and families start the school year with confidence. On Thursday, July 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Bloom will host its 2nd Annual Back-to-School Drive-A-Thon—a convenient, drive-thru donation event taking place at three Bloom locations across Georgia.
“Back-to-school season should be an exciting time, but for many children in foster care, it can be filled with uncertainty,” said Becky Davenport, CEO of Bloom. “Our goal is to help ease that burden by making sure every child starts the year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.”
Simply drive through and drop off school supplies, backpacks, and toiletry items, which are in critical need to directly support the over 11,000 children in foster care throughout Georgia. Thanks to disbursement from our two Bloom Closet locations, The Bloom Closet Express, and Bloom Direct, your supplies will make it to the children needing them most, well before bells ring on the first day of school.
Drop-Off Locations:
- 115 Marquis Drive, Fayetteville, GA 30214
- 150 Huddleston Road, Peachtree City, GA 30269
- 1400 Crane Street, Rome, GA 30161
Whether you’re donating as an individual or organizing a group effort with coworkers, neighbors, or faith communities, every item makes a difference. For those unable to drop off items in person, Bloom also offers Amazon Wish Lists to make giving easy:
