Random Acts of Flowers Silicon Valley Information

Random Acts of Flowers (RAF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity improving mental health through the power of giving flowers. RAF volunteers collect donated flowers from weddings, memorial services, florists, special events, grocery stores and churches – to recycle and re-purpose them into beautiful bouquets for delivery to patients in area hospitals, nursing homes and hospice care centers. As a recycling “green” charity run almost entirely by volunteers, Random Acts of Flowers is committed to nourishing the health of the environment, individuals, and the community. Medical research has shown that a positive attitude quickens healing time and reduces the amount of pain, anxiety and fatigue associated with illness; Random Acts of Flowers’ goal is to serve a small part in the improvement of each patient’s positive mental health. RAF delivers flowers to individuals determined by nurses/caregivers to be in the most need at community healthcare organizations. Our target recipients are those who have been in a facility for an extended period of time, have not had visitors, don’t have a support structure, or just needing a little cheer. Random Acts of Flowers has the honor of fulfilling our mission with every delivery.
