BLOOMAGAINBKLYN

BloomAgainBklyn is all about reducing social isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations by creating connections and conversations through repurposed flowers. Our volunteers upcycle unsold and once-used flowers for nursing home residents, homebound older adults, trauma and homelessness survivors, families in shelters, nursing home residents, at-risk children and food pantry recipients. We are truly a circle of “people helping people,” working side-by-side with more than 70 community organizations and growing each day. Our network of over 2,500 volunteers includes individuals and corporate volunteers, school-age children, community, and social service organizations and, most importantly, the people they serve who receive the flowers. The gift of flowers is an emotional and healing experience connecting our volunteers with recipients letting them know that someone cares. We’ve has been bringing joy and hope through the healing power of repurposed flowers to over 60,000 New Yorkers in need since 2014. We have diverted more than 1.4 million flowers from the solid waste stream, creating 120,000+ floral arrangements for recipients. And we are giving people a chance to do the environmentally right thing. There is no other organization in New York City – non-profit or profit -- doing what we do.
