Welcome

We are so excited you have found your way to our website and are interested in growing with us through our seasons of positive change. As you explore this website, you will find information for both the Cedarburg Mercantile and Blossom IDD. The Cedarburg Mercantile, a niche retail store in the heart of downtown Cedarburg, has a beautiful partnership with the nonprofit Blossom IDD. Both were established in 2021 by Cindi and Mike Purnell. Without spoiling the details, you can read through our story and continue with us on this wonderful journey we have begun to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Blossom IDD

A world of possibilities

Resources and Support for Adults With IDD and Their Families

Mission

Blossom IDD is a place where adults with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) can receive the resources they need to live a full, independent, blossoming life.

Get Involved

Blossom IDD has a variety of ways to get involved. From volunteering your time, participating in programs, or staying in contact via our communications. Our team will work with you to find the best fit for you and that works within our mission to support the IDD community.

Areas of Intention

Blossom IDD has three main areas we are intentionally serving at this time. We believe that connection with community is the catalyst for change within the lives of people living with IDD. For this reason we focus on community connections for people with IDD, information and resource sharing, as well as travel and transportation opportunities.
