During the holidays, we get swept up in the spirit of giving. But while hitting the stores and returning home with a trunk load of presents to dazzle our family with is fun, we here at Peoples Flower Shops are focused on that other kind of giving – the charitable kind.

We do this in a few ways. We offer a floral donation to the Folds of Honor Gala, which benefits the spouses and children of fallen or injured U.S. service-members through educational scholarships. We make another donation to the American Heart Association’s Heart Ball, held each year here in Albuquerque. This past March, we sourced about 22,000 daffodils for Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation’s Daffodil Days, a massive fundraiser to benefit Hospice.

But we also make it easy for you to give through our Helping Hands program, which offers continuous support to our community’s most cherished organizations and institutions. When you’re about to complete your purchase of one of our spectacular floral items (like the striking Proteas & Pinecones design below), simply click the Helping Hands drop down menu and select the organization you’d like to give to. The contribution from your purchase will go directly to them.

Truly get in the holiday spirit by giving to those who need it most. You’ll feel great about sending a loved one flowers and better still for the chance to support our community while doing it. Let us help you do both!
