Today, I met with Mary Ryan Barthel, the founder & president of Blooms from the Heart. Her organization is non-profit and they collect donations of flowers from events and weddings and delivers them to groups in need, such as hospitals, nursing homes, youth shelters etc. After a wedding, usually the flowers go to wastes, so why not donate them to these charities? Mary mentioned that they will work with you if you want them to go to a specific organizations and you can either donate the whole arrangements or just the florals. You can also get a receipt for tax deductions as well =)
This is such a unique and easy way to give back to our community and be able to put a smile on someone's face.
Please let me know if you are interested!
Hugs,
Wynn
