Helping Mamas Knoxville recently hosted its 6th Annual Bloom Bash at the Reserve at Bluebird Hill in Lenoir City. The ladies attending enjoyed an evening out mixing and mingling, partaking in delicious eats and cocktails, a fabulous silent auction, boutique shopping and a fashion show. Bloom Bash raises funds for Helping Mamas, whose mission is to elevate the well-being and dignity of women by providing diapers, period products and other essential baby supplies. This nonprofit works with over 70 East Tennessee partner organizations and is the only registered diaper bank within two hours of Knoxville.
