While the month of February may bring chilly weather and maybe even some winter blues for those in our community, Random Acts of Flowers aims to warm the hearts of those community members who may be facing their own healthcare trials.

We all know that Valentine’s Day, our favorite February holiday represented by hearts and roses and displays of love and care for those we hold dear, falls on the 14th every year. However, the month of February is also National Cancer Awareness month. We also all know too many wonderful people who face the challenges of the various forms of this disease, and we recognize the value that a little hope and a random act of kindness can have on someone’s recovery journey.

Each Valentine’s Day week, Random Acts of Flowers is so fortunate to receive a deluge of floral donations. No surprise, as the hallmark of this holiday are beautiful floral deliveries to those we love! With this abundance of beautiful flowers in their reds and pinks, we will be focusing on extending our mission so we can “share the love” with those battling cancer and receiving treatments in various clinical settings. We aspire to touch the lives of more than 500 of these community members during our 2nd annual “Share the Love” Week.

We cannot think of a better way to celebrate the month of February than honoring the true meaning of Valentine’s Day, sharing love, and to recognize and support those affected by cancer. This dedicated special delivery week shares love with more than just the patients we deliver to. You can feel the love between all those who work tirelessly to make this week happen. From staff, volunteers, board members, local businesses, and monetary supporters, there is love evident in all of the work and support it takes to make our floral deliveries a possibility.

We want to extend our love this year to our “Share the Love” Week sponsor, The Debbie Neidiffer Memorial. Without the generous support and love from our devoted sponsors, we could not make such a beautiful week happen. We look forward to warming hearts with a little extra love and joy during a cold month!
