To help children and families construct and sustain a healthy foundation for the future. Empowering Children and Families advances our mission by providing a comprehensive “roadmap" unique to each family's strengths and challenges. The roadmap engages the entire family, requires demonstrated positive improvement, and provides much needed supports in the areas of mental health, education, social development, and family values. 100% of Empowering Children and Families funding comes from individual donors, community foundations, and corporate partners. This strategy leaves us free from government bureaucracy and political agendas. In the first year ECF will serve five families in the greater Bridgeport area. The staff of four is donating all of their time in the first year to supporting the mission of ECF.

Bloomin’ Boutique gives new clothes, bedding and personal supplies to children ages 0-18 from low-income families in distress. These are children whose lives are in upheaval due to family poverty, parent job loss, homelessness, mental health challenges, domestic violence, or child abuse and neglect. The boutique is a thrifty, all-volunteer operation. Many of the items disbursed are donated to Bloomin' Boutique by generous stores, community members, civic clubs, and companies (some even hold clothing donation drives). And cash contributions allow for purchase of other items, to ensure a sufficient supply is on hand to meet needs. These items usually can be bought in bulk or when steep discounts are offered.
