With the help of community sponsors Throughout the year, Random Acts of Flowers designates dedicated weeks to deliver floral bouquets to specific groups of individuals.
Share the Love Week
February is a month that is known for Valentine’s Day, a day in which we give love and kindness to those who matter the most to us. Here at Random Acts of Flowers, we like to “Share the Love,” during a dedicated week in February, where we provide beautiful floral arrangements made especially for members of our community receiving services from outpatient health care facilities in recognition of National Cancer Prevention Month.
Brightest Week
During June when the Summer Solstice occurs, we experience our longest day with our most sunlight. For those members of our community faced with memory disorders, longer days with more light means less affects from sundown syndrome. During this week, we provide over 500 bouquets to healthcare recipients residing in memory care units.
Nourish the soul Week
September is Hunger Action Month and RAF partners with Mobile Meals for Nourish the Soul Week. Research shows 6 out of 10 adults in our nation live with chronic disease or physical limitations that impact their daily function and quality of life. For many of the seniors who have limited financial resources and limited social support, Mobile Meals provides a much-needed service, guaranteeing these seniors have adequate access to healthy meals and ensuring their nutritional health needs are met. Adequate nutritional health is foundational for maintaining and improving our overall health and tantamount for geriatric populations fighting infections, healing wounds, and building strength during any rehab process. By providing these individuals with a beautiful, repurposed bouquet, RAF aims to help encourage nutritional intake and lessen the effects of isolation by brightening spirits.
Veterans’ Week
We honor our Veterans in November, during Veterans’ Day week, by thanking them for their service with a beautiful floral arrangement and a personal moment of kindness. We have annually provided over 500 bouquets to veterans residing in senior care and assisted living facilities in our regional area during this week.
Poinsettia Delivery Weeks
Our longest running Random Acts of Flowers tradition and sponsored week is our Holiday Poinsettia Delivery Weeks. Every holiday season, Random Acts of Flowers has provided residents and patients in community healthcare facilities with hundreds of poinsettias; as well as, much needed holiday spirit annually during a challenging time.
