Although Random Acts of Flowers exists as a functioning organization, the idea is easily implementable in everyday life, as is shown by this Share Your Story by volunteer Kristina.

Wanted to share a sweet experience I had this morning. When I walked into my corporate environment, I was greeted by a cartful of vases filled with cheery yellow and green mums. The woman wielding it is an acquaintance from dance class, so as we made our way into the elevator I said; “Oh, it’s like random act of flowers.” She laughed and replied that she had been inspired to recycle and share the bouquets by RAF (I don’t know if she participated in the Day of Caring) a few years ago. So the IT floor – and many cubicles – are a little brighter today thanks to you all! - Kristina

Her story shows how you can do a “random act” on your own.  Often we receive calls from other states, people who found us online and don’t realize that we are a small organization.  I usually encourage them to do a “random act” on their own.  If you are having an event with simple centerpieces any local assisted living facility would LOVE to have those arrangements to put in their communal dining area.  Or you could branch out of our recipient circle, maybe a battered women’s shelter or an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting space.  There is no reason for one time use flowers to go in the trash… share them!  Spread the joy in your community.  :-)
