Today, the last snowy day of the season (let's hope), I had the honor to capturing a few generous volunteers in action. Arriving at the address of what seemed to be a small nondescript warehouse, turns out to be packed with kindness and energy. This remarkable charity, Random Acts of Flowers, turn donated flowers into gorgeous bouquets for those in need of a little joy. The volunteers meticulously deconstruct these bouquets and rearrange them into gifts for hospital and hospice facilities patients that could use the support. It was not difficult to capture beautiful, charitable spirits and turned into a humbling experience for me.
Patiently awaiting the flowers to arrive from the donors.
First truck backing into the loading dock.
The van doors opened to visual and olfactory flood.
The volunteers sort the flowers and prepare them for arrangements.
“Random Acts of Flowers recycles and repurposes flowers by engaging dedicated volunteer teams to deliver beautiful bouquets and moments of kindness to individuals in healthcare facilities across the country.”
Making sure all the flowers are intact and perfect for arrangements.
There is not a better of a way to repurpose wedding flowers.
