Mission Statement
BloomAgainBklyn is a nonprofit organization committed to reducing social isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations by creating connections and conversations through repurposed flowers. Our volunteers – and this organization would be nothing without its volunteers -- upcycle unsold and once-used flowers for nursing home residents, homebound older adults, trauma and homelessness survivors, families in shelters, at-risk children and food pantry recipients. BloomAgainBklyn is committed to reducing social isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations by creating connections and conversations through repurposed flowers. We are a volunteer organization that takes a wasted asset and turns it into an impactful instrument of giving and hope. Flowers can be a powerful vehicle to foster and facilitate dialogue and interaction among generations — young, old and in-between — and to forge meaningful bonds while building community and giving back to those at-risk.
About This Cause
We are truly a circle of “people helping people,” working side-by-side with more than 70 community organizations and growing each day. We have a 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 80,000 New Yorkers in need since 2014. We have diverted more than 1.8 million flowers from the solid waste stream, creating 160,000+ floral arrangements for recipients. And we are giving people a chance to do the environmentally right thing.
