Millage Recipient Profile - MomsBloom

When a new baby comes, parents often find themselves overwhelmed and in need of help – and don’t have enough supportive people in their lives. MomsBloom works to fill that gap. The Ready by Five Early Childhood Millage has allowed MomsBloom to expand their “In-home, Hands-on” Postpartum Support program to provide practical and emotional support for mothers of newborns in Kent County, particularly those in underserved communities.

MomsBloom brings families and volunteers together to provide hands-on and emotional support to any family with a newborn baby. Their services are proven to decrease parental stress, increase their confidence in their parenting role, help develop a sustainable support system, and help prevent perinatal mood disorder symptoms.

Family Voices

When asked about their MomsBloom experience, one client said “it was truly life changing. By the end of my time with my volunteer, I was better at saying “yes” and asking for help.”

Another client said that “during the hardest times, my volunteer was the light at the end of the tunnel, where I would be able to have a few hours to myself. It meant so much to have a self care routine and helped me get back on my path of mental and physical health.”
