Unfortunately, the City Council denied our request to continue parking in the bike lane on the
Ridge Road side closest to Raleigh Moravian Church on Tuesday mornings. The Transportation Department has issues with blocking a bike lane and issues of liability. You can park for a few minutes to drop off and load flowers. We can continue to park on the Ridge Road side across from the Church.

Also, please DO NOT park in the lower parking lot before 9:45 am. We have safety and congestion issues with parents dropping off their children at the pre-school.

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, 1816 Ridge Road, every Tuesday morning.   We begin to set up at 9:00 am and from 9:30 am to 12 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!
