Thank you Kenneth Rainin Foundation for supporting our BIPOC leaders!

Rest And Care Awards For Education Honor BIPOC Women Leaders - Kenneth Rainin Foundation The Rest and Care Award honors the dedication of nonprofit leaders by providing the opportunity to step away, rest and focus on themselves.

Today is and Lotus Bloom is raising $9,000 for families and children!

A gift of $25 ensures a family can participate in our playgroups, which provides caregivers and their children a safe space for growth, learning and play.
A gift of $50 provides essentials like food, baby wipes and gift cards for groceries.
A gift of $100 supports Lotus Bloom’s Rapid Response Fund, which puts cash directly into the hands of families to meet everyday expenses such as rent and utilities.

Your partnership can make a big difference! Please consider supporting our mission in continuing to ensure that every child has a strong start in life.
