Flower Angels + 5000+ bouquets delivered = joy and sunshine to many.

Thank you to our awesome Flower Angel volunteers for offering their valuable time and kind hearts to make our mission successful. Each week I am amazed at the massive amount of flowers recycled and repurposed into gorgeous bouquets. We all are filled with gratitude to our loyal flower sponsors, Trader Joes and Shaws Supermarkets and to the loyal event planners who make our mission possible. We are delighted to have Community Connection and Cape Abilities as an important part of our Flower Angel team. Our wonderful Life Enhancement Directors at the 20 Cape Cod facilities we deliver to monthly are a huge help to us as well.

“To Suzanne and the other Angels-

A note to thank you very much for the flowers you brought to my husband’s room last week at Eagle Pond. Fortunately, I was there at the time. I know the flowers are to brighten the day of the patient (which they certainly did) but they also brightened my day as well.

The flowers will fade but the thoughts and feeling of compassion and kindness they represent never will.

In-between all of the dismal TV and radio news, when I need to smile, I remember the flowers and all of you wonderful people who do this. You are, indeed, all Angels!

Please accept our check. Hopefully, in the future, we can send you more”.

Gratefully.

Flower Angels deliver sunshine to seniors

“Tina Meybohm was wheeling along the second-floor corridor at the EPOCH Senior Living in Harwich one quiet Tuesday when she was approached by a handful of smiling women who presented her with a colorful arrangement of flowers. The 104-year-old, on her way back from the center’s hair salon, was delighted. “This is beautiful,” Meybohm exclaimed. “God love you. It makes my day.” She then broke into a chorus of “You Are my Sunshine.” -Christine Legere on Twitter: @chrislegereCCT

We gather together….

Thanks to our many extraordinary dedicated volunteers gathering together, we have delivered 4600 smiles to patients in nursing homes. Our workshop is an amazing sight to see in action. Awesome Community Connection clients collect flowers galore from our generous floral partners, Trader Joes and Shaws. Our Flower angels get to work deconstructing the ton of flowers brought in. As soon as 40 or 50 bouquets are made, Mara and her job coach, Amanda, fill the cars to the brim and off they go to deliver. Our patients are delighted to receive their vibrant bouquets. Shining eyes and grins are observed from ear to ear throughout the facility. Our new Capabilities Flower Angels did an awesome job delivering many bouquets to patients in EPOCH Harwich and Mayflower Place nursing homes. We are delighted to have more terrific people join our Flower Angel family and the patients are happy too! Flower Angels USA is a beautiful mission…bringing sunshine to our often forgotten elderly, while providing job opportunities in a loving, supportive environment to our differential-able community…a marriage made in heaven!
