community SERVICE through flowers
The program promotes a sense of peace and unity within our community and beyond through acts of loving kindness and social justice. Our goal is to bring joy into the lives of the elderly in nursing homes and build community among volunteers.
For upcoming dates, please email Marla Gardner or check the events tab in the navigation bar.
Your participation in this event makes it possible for us to create beautiful flower arrangements for residents in local nursing homes.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event and thank you for your continued support of this project.
