"Giving back to the community is an essential part of our mission at Arizona Flower Market," said Arizona Flower Market owner, Brad Denham. "The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is one of the most respected non-profit social services organizations in the valley and we are committed to supporting their efforts through our "Flowers for Food" program. Our customers are generous when it comes to supporting our mission and with their support we are confident we can hit our goal of 10,000 food items," he added.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul feeds an astounding 4,000 people a day a nutritious, filling dinner at their five dining halls throughout the valley, prepared and served entirely by volunteers. In addition, last year their food pantries delivered a staggering 6 million emergency food boxes to families in dire need. Said Danielle Ricketts, Manager of Dining Rooms, "We need the help of volunteers all year long, and your donations help us bring food to those in need all throughout the state. It would truly be impossible without the help of our community and businesses like Arizona Flower Market. Thank you!"
