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 TVA’s corporate environment, I was greeted by a cartful of vases filled [...]
Like the ripple caused by a stone thrown into water our mission affects the mood of everyone in a recipient facility. We often speak about how our mission affects healthcare residents in our community. What we don’t often share is how the staff of our recipient facilities are affected by our deliveries. The mood of [...]
We recently visited a facility that we have not ever delivered to before. We always really enjoy those because it is so much fun to share our mission with a new set of residents! We received a very nice note from Lauren Hall, the Healthy Lifestyles Director. Thank you so very much for all the [...]
One of the things that we do not lack for around here are heartwarming stories. This one certainly fits the bill! What makes this story special is that Patti knew to thank everyone and everything that went into her delivery. For her bouquet to be delivered there had to be a floral donor, a vase [...]
Received another story from a family member of a floral recipient. We certainly love hearing about how our mission effects those in our community. Thank you for sharing Beth! “Many thanks to your organization for the beautiful flowers delivered to my mother during her stay at UT Hospital in Knoxville. The pink roses were perfect [...]
Received this lovely note earlier this week. She must have been one of the recipients during our first ever delivery to Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center last month which received great television coverage. My mom had a lengthy hospital stay recently and I live out of state. I called daily to check on mom and [...]
The following is an email we received from the Mercy Hospice Volunteer Coordinator. Beautiful vases of flowers arrived last weekend for each of our eighteen hospice patients and their families. Our front reception desk as well as staff members received a bouquet for their desk too. The acts of kindness LIFTED our SPIRITS for days and [...]
We received a thank you card today from one of our facilities and this is what it said: Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers that you bring to our facility. It brightens up not only our facility environment, but our residents’ and staffs’ day! Thank you so much for thinking of Northhaven Health [...]

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who attended the [...]

For over a year, “Random Acts of Flowers” has been delivering flowers to hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospices. But Tuesday, a very special bouquet was delivered to St. Mary’s Medical Center. A delivery that didn’t just bring a smile to the patients face, but to the volunteers who have far exceeded their [...]
