This September, Random Acts of Flowers is proud to host its 3rd annual Nourish the Soul Week, a heartfelt initiative in partnership with Mobile Meals during Hunger Action Month. Taking place the last week of September, this collaboration brings together healthy meals and beautiful flowers to uplift the lives of homebound seniors across our community.
Research shows that 6 out of 10 adults in the U.S. live with chronic disease or physical limitations that impact their daily function and quality of life. For many seniors with limited financial resources and social support, Mobile Meals provides a lifeline, ensuring access to nutritious food that supports healing, strength, and overall well-being. RAF complements this vital service by delivering repurposed floral arrangements that brighten spirits and encourage emotional wellness.
These deliveries do more than decorate a room – they transform lives. Emotional well-being is deeply connected to physical health, especially in older adults. A simple bouquet can spark joy, stimulate appetite, and remind recipients that they are seen, valued, and cared for by their community. Each arrangement is a symbol of collective compassion, made possible by floral donors, financial supporters, and dedicated volunteers.
The impact is deeply felt. Sarah Kreel of Mobile Meals shares, “The smiles and excitement these flowers create not only brighten our homebound clients’ day but also make the experience even more meaningful for the volunteers who deliver them.” Volunteer Jimmy added, “It’s been such a gloomy old day and I get to bring bright, happy flowers. You hit it just right!” And one grateful daughter shared, “My mother doesn’t smile much these days, but being able to see her through the Ring camera smiling made me so happy. This random act of kindness was felt all the way in Cincinnati, Ohio.”
Together, RAF and Mobile Meals are nourishing bodies and souls. Want to get involved? Whether you have flowers to donate, time to volunteer, or resources to share, there’s a place for you at Random Acts of Flowers. Together, we can continue to brighten lives, one bouquet at a time.
