We gift donated flowers to nursing homes and other care facilities. If you’d like to be a recipient, please fill out the contact form and one of our volunteers will reach out to share more information. We always bring flowers directly to you at a time that is convenient.
How can grocery stores, florists, or event planners partner with Flower Forward?
We’re always looking for partners who want to give their unsold or leftover flowers a second life! Grocery stores, florists, and event planners can donate fresh blooms that would otherwise go to waste. We’ll arrange pickup or drop-off at a time that works for you. Partnering with us is a great way to reduce waste while spreading joy to those in need! Reach out through our website or email to get started.
Do you take artificial flowers?
Currently, we focus on repurposing fresh flowers, but if you have high-quality artificial flowers you’d like to donate, we will definitely make good use of them. We are able to use these flowers for people with certain allergies.
Can I volunteer with Flower Forward?
Yes! Volunteers are essential to our mission. You can help by arranging flowers, assisting with deliveries, or spreading the word about our project. Sign up through our website to get involved! We are currently only accepting volunteers in the Boston/Milton area, but hope to be able to hire people in different areas as we grow!
