Volunteer appreciation for “Bloom Project”

It was our pleasure to provide ice cream to volunteers of the “Bloom Project”

The Bloom Project has been giving the gift of fresh floral bouquets to hospice and palliative care patients since 2007.

The project started in the Central Oregon garage of our founder, Heidi Berkman, beginning with a few flowers and a few volunteers who wanted to create something special — bringing beauty and joy to those in end-of-life care. Many of us had experienced the loss of a loved one in hospice care, and recognized that we could make use of resources (flowers) that would otherwise be tossed out.
