Random Acts of Flowers (RAF) 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.
On Monday and Wednesday mornings donated flowers are picked up from grocery stores, events, and flower wholesalers. In the afternoon, volunteers organize and sort these flowers, composting what is past its prime, and organizing flowers that are still fresh and beautiful. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, volunteers arrange bouquets, which are delivered that afternoon to patients in nearby hospitals or residents living in senior care facilities. Target recipients are those who may not have a support system, may have been in the facility for an extended period of time, may have just received bad news, or just need some encouragement from the community.
Volunteers are needed to help deliver smiles and beautiful flower bouquets to veterans at Hines VA Hospital every third Tuesday of the month, from 1pm-3:00pm (may vary).
