Recycled Blooms Brighten Thousands Of Lives

In July 2007, Random Acts of Flowers' founder, Larsen Jay, was in a near-fatal accident. While recovering in the hospital, he received love, support and... flowers! They raised his spirits and added a positive boost to his recovery.

After a week in his hospital bed, Larsen started getting antsy. When he was able to get up and around a bit, he noticed how many other patients did not receive flowers. Since his room was now overflowing with arrangements, he decided to turn his flowers into several bouquets and gave them out around the hospital. Within moments the first "random act of flowers" delivery was made.

The memory of how this simple gesture touched his fellow patients inspired Larsen. "In room after room, we encountered people that their day was fundamentally changed in a positive way," he recalled. "We took something that would otherwise be tossed and just offered it to them." These good feelings compelled Larsen to form Random Act of Flowers in 2008, a non-profit company that strives to recycle and repurpose beautiful flowers to make people smile. They have already delivered over 250,000 bouquets to patients at hospitals, senior centers, and other healthcare facilities - that's a lot of smiles! Watch and see how flowers really do have the power to heal!

Inspiring hope for those going through tough times is at the core of what "Meals By Grace" is doing for their community in Cummings, Georgia.
