We bring beautiful free donated day-old flowers to residents of senior living communities, hospitals, hospices, cancer treatment centers, recovery houses, adult day care centers, healthcare facilities, mental health facilities and other places where people need a little bouquet of joy to brighten their day. And just sometimes to strangers on the street!
Hi Patricia,
What fun I had putting smiles on so many faces as I freely gave out the gorgeous flowers you entrusted to me last Thursday! I drove out of the church parking lot and saw a postal worker delivering the mail. I pulled over and invited her to look at the beautiful selection of flowers, and asked her if she wanted to take a bunch or two. She could not believe it! She said, "Really?" I told her I was with the Food Pantry and that the flowers had been donated by “ The Flower Lady” - Patricia Gallagher - who collects the day-old flowers from stores. She took 2 bunches, and I asked her if she had a mom or sisters she'd like to give some to. She replied, "They’ll just let them die." So I moved on to the post office where I had to mail a package. I did my business with a lovely postal employee, then went out to the car and brought three bunches in - one for her and two for another customer who could not believe it. She finally accepted them when I told her they were free. Such fun for me! I proceeded on to a shut-in widow friend and gave her some flowers, and two bouquets went to her son-in-law who was doing lawn maintenance for her. I gave him some roses to give to his wife - who is an acquaintance. Then, on to a lovely long-time friend whose 21-month-old nephew had just died. It is such a sad time her family. I only hoped the beautiful flowers would bring a tiny bit of comfort to her heart. We were invited to celebrate July 4th at someone's home, and I took the hostess a bunch of the flowers. An unmarried, wonderful friend turned sixty, and I gifted her with flowers. I am still in wonder at how blessed I feel to share these gorgeous flowers with people who typically never receive them. Thanks a million times over!
