This week, you can support survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation in the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
Bloom for Women will host its second annual Bloom in Style luncheon on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It’s a fundraiser to help the nonprofit provide sanctuary for survivors and help them heal.<\/p>\n
The group says the money raised will go directly to programs that help women find a safe place to live, a job, and support.<\/p>\n
It will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday at the Saucon Valley Country Club.<\/p>\n
You’re encouraged to dress in your best spring attire and hats– there will be a designer and vintage handbag silent auction, a luxury bag raffle- and a clothing donation drive for My Sister’s Closet.<\/p>\n
The boutique is looking for pre-loved spring and summer clothing, infant clothing, including preemie to 18 months and maternity clothes.<\/p>\n
Those who work at the boutique say it’s like sisterhood for the staff and volunteers.<\/p>\n
“It’s also the women that come in here shopping for job interviews coming up, if they are expecting, if they’re getting married soon… it’s a really great area for us to gather,” says store Manager Rebekah Fritchman.<\/p>\n
And when they gather, they are able to provide that support for each other.<\/p>\n
Tickets start at $75.<\/p>\n
