Limit: 36

If yes, how do you know? Please describe any program evaluation you use:

If no, please describe current barriers and how you are working to overcome them:

We would have preferred to reach more recipients but were unable to do so given required lock-downs and safety measures but given the constraints of the pandemic – yes.  We were able to reach 1550 isolated individuals in need of a smile at American House Senior Living, Bay Bluffs Emmet County Medical Care Facility, Cross of Christ Church Community Paper Pantry, Harbor Village Senior Citizen Apartments, Harbor Watch Senior Living Community, Hiland Cottage Hospice House Independence Village Assisted Living Facility, the Living Room, Mallard Cove Assisted Living, Meals on Wheels, McLaren Northern Michigan Infusion Center and Dialysis Unit, Perry Farm Village Senior Living, the Petoskey Club, RSVP Seniors and Villa by the Bay.  In addition, we made COVID-19 Flowers for Friends “special deliveries” to first responders and postal workers. Our program evaluation derives from qualitative evidence, i.e. the thousands of written communications that we have received (and continue to receive) from recipients over the life of the Flowers for Friends project and the positive feedback that we receive from program coordinators at each of the delivery locations.

Limit: 74

Do you have a story of how your program positively changed participant's situation, behavior, or knowledge?

If so, please share it:

“Just a short thank you from a tenant at Independence Village. What a beautiful way to remind us that spring and the end of isolation are on their way. Thank you so much for your lovely gesture.”

“Thank you so much for the flowers you shared with others to make this time in our homes more pleasant. I love flowers.”

“I live at American House in Petoskey.  I just received a new bouquet of fresh spring flowers.  They cheer me up each time I look at them.  Thanks, thanks, thanks.”

“Thanks for the lovely flowers given to me as I left the infusion center.  They brightened my kitchen for more than a week!”

“Thank you for ‘expressing love through flowers.’” We residents of Independence Village really appreciate finding lovely floral arrangements you leave outside our doors.  I wish you could see our smiles of joy!”

“Thank you for the lovely flowers you sent to us.  They cheered every one of us up and brought sunshine our way.”

“Thank you for the bouquet of flowers.  It made me feel special.”

“The lovely, beautiful flowers we received from you with our Meals on Wheels brightened up our day and many days after!”
