Bloom Marin
Bloom is a program of YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley that provides complimentary wardrobes to children, women, and men who are experiencing economic hardship.
In addition to wardrobes, clients receive a hygiene kit, undergarments, shoes, and accessories. Bloom has been serving residents of Marin County for over 20 years and became a program of YWCA in spring 2022.
