Mission: Bloomagainbklyn picks up donated flowers from local supermarkets & florists and refurbishes these flowers into arrangements that are delivered to senior citizens.
Programs: Twice a week during the year, bloomagainbklyn picks up donated flowers from local supermarkets & florists and refurbishes these flowers into arrangements that are delivered to senior citizens at two local senior health care centers. Flower arrangements are delivered to over 500 recipients each month.
bloomagainbklyn partners with local social sevices agenics, educational institutions, and houses of worship to put on one-day, flower workshops where volunteers learn how to cut, clean and arrange flowers. These sessions are led by bloomagainbklyn staff volunteers. The finished arrangements are then delivered to home bound seniors. On average, more than 25 arrangements are delivered to seniors through these workshops.
