Fill the Hive: Mini Donuts & Giving Back

We need your help! 
We’re asking you to collect nonperishable foods or baby items to help support fellow Bloom patients and their families as a new school year begins.
During TWO special weekends this fall, kids can bring in a bag of donations (see examples below) and enjoy FREE mini donuts from the Detroit Mini Donut food truck on us!
Your donations will stock The Hive, a space in our Detroit office where Bloom families can pick up food and other essential items they might need after their appointment.
The “Fill the Hive” food drive is part of our fall vaccine clinic series, where kids can enjoy a fun activity at Bloom each weekend after their flu or COVID vaccine appointment.
If your child is due for a flu or COVID vaccine, schedule an appointment through the Patient Portal: My Kid’s Chart or call our office. Already vaccinated? No problem! Kids can still participate in the food drive and enjoy free mini donuts with their donation!
