UNEXPECTED BLOOMS INC

Description

We are a 501c3 100% volunteer organization. We repurpose and recycle gently used flowers in the Greater Kansas City Metro Area. Flowers are generously donated from weddings, memorial services, charity, corporate and private events, florists, and retailers. Our volunteers recut, refresh, and reuse those flowers to create beautiful bouquets that we deliver to brighten someone's day. We work hand-in-hand with healthcare, hospice, senior resident, and social service communities throughout our city to touch people's lives.
