BLOOM is a youth development and clothing assistance project of Live Your Live Foundation. It provides children and teens with clean, attractive, age-appropriate clothing, shoes, accessories, school supplies, and personal-development opportunities.
Children and teens are given the opportunity to select clothing that fits their size, needs, personal style, and preferences in a welcoming boutique-style environment.
Look Good. Feel Confident. Grow Strong.
BLOOM is designed to offer more than clothing. The project helps young people develop confidence, practice responsibility, express their individuality, and prepare for success at school, at home, and in the community.
When individuals feel confident in their appearance, prepared for interviews, and supported throughout their career journey, they are more likely to secure employment, maintain successful careers, and become active contributors within their communities.
BLOOM is open to all members of the community, regardless of background, income, or employment history.
