If you cannot wait
If you cannot wait for a swap. Tell us. A person reads it.
If you need clothes before the next swap — for a job, a court date, a move, or because what you own does not fit who you are — write to us here. We reply within one business day and say plainly what we can do.
Tell us what you need
Need clothes urgently in Oregon? Tell us here.
Write as much or as little as you want: sizes if you know them, what it is for, and the date you need it by.
A name is optional. The one thing we ask for is the safest way to reach you. If there is a way we must not use, say so, and we will not use it. If it is for a particular day, put the date first, so the reply can start there. If you would rather talk, give a time that is safe to call.
We keep what you send only as long as we need it to help you, and never sell or share it. Or write to swap@bloomministries.org.
What you write goes to a person at Bloom. It never joins a mailing list, and this page does not track you. What Bloom can do depends on what is in storage and where you are; the reply says plainly what is possible, and does not promise what is not.
Right now
If you are in danger right now.
Clothes can wait. You come first. If you are not safe, use one of these first; none of them costs anything.
