Hospice sets goal to sell 1,500 bouquets of flowers
ALBION – Hospice of Orleans has set a goal to sell 1,500 bouquets of flowers, and 150 popcorn bags during the Annual Spring Bouquet Sale from March 11-15.
There will be 10-stem or 30-stem bouquets for sale. Della’s Chocolates in Medina is collaborating to make a chocolate-drizzled popcorn treat.
“This event is very important for our patients as all proceeds go directly toward patient care,” said Julia Alt, director of advancement at Hospice of Orleans. “We continue to appreciate the outpouring of community support year after year during our Spring Bouquet Sale.”
Numerous sites around the county have the flowers for sale. (Check the Hospice website or Facebook page for locations.)
Patrons have the option to pre-order their bouquets and popcorn online or by calling 585-589-0809. Alt said about half of the bouquets have already been sold.
There will also be two “Make & Take Bouquet” events March 15 and a third event on March 16. Also available this year is an option to purchase and donate a bouquet to a Hospice of Orleans patient or a veteran, said Alt.
“Our care team will personally deliver beautiful bouquets to our patients and veterans,” she said.
