Our Mission: The Flower Shuttle recycles flowers to our neighbors living with sickness, terminal illness, poverty and disability who don't normally get flowers...because we care!
The concept of The Flower Shuttle is similar to food recycling programs, except it involves gathering flowers from community events, galas, weddings, funerals and from area merchants such as wholesalers, florists, warehouse clubs, and supermarkets. These donated flowers are arranged into small containers and then delivered to recipients at local organizations.
Volunteers gather at Raleigh Moravian Church every Tuesday morning. We begin to set up at 9:00 am and from 9:30 am to Noon volunteers quickly rearrange and deliver the donated blossoms to those in need. Many hands are needed to coordinate flower event connections, pick up flower donations, rearrange and deliver bouquets. New volunteers are always welcome!
This program is open to the entire community and is being graciously sponsored by Raleigh Moravian Church as an outreach service project. To find your place at The Flower Shuttle please visit our "Volunteer !" page!
