Wedding Leftover Flowers Donation

If you have wedding leftover flowers, you can donate them to the community and pass love on!

It's our third round of flower donation!✨

We received the wedding leftover flowers donation from @forgetmenotflourish and the flowers are repurposed to floral bouquets for residents in Pleasant View Towers and Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion. The hydrangeas that were used as decorations in a wedding, is now enjoyed by more members in the community. PASS LOVE ON is a slogan, is an action, is a belief.

Thank you once again @forgetmenotflourish for the generous donation and making a social impact!
