BrightBridge Credit Union recently hosted a series of bouquet-making events in partnership with the Power of Flowers Project, for delivery to seniors and veterans in local care. Founded in 2009, Power of Flowers is a nonprofit dedicated to sharing joy through flowers. It repurposes donated flowers into bouquets and delivers them to recipients to “improve their quality of life, to reduce loneliness and depression, and to let them know they are valued.”
The credit union welcomed the Power of Flowers team for three “Kindness Connection Workshops” at its corporate offices in Lawrence, Waltham and Bridgewater. Volunteers from the nonprofit guided BrightBridge team members through creating floral arrangements using fresh flowers and greens. Then, 135 handcrafted bouquets were donated to local care facilities, including Methuen Village, CareOne at Wilmington, the German Home in Lawrence and Edgewood LifeCare Community in North Andover.
