Arizona Flower Market Gives Away 12,000 Roses for Toy/Food Drive
Arizona Flower Market is holding its 3rd Annual Christmas Toy and Food Drive to support The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix, Arizona. This year Arizona Flower Market partnered with The Elite Flower farm in Colombia with a goal of giving away over 12,000 roses in hopes to raise more than 1,000 toy donations for Phoenix area families in need.
Customers can donate a new, unwrapped toy, or 10 non-perishable food items and receive one free dozen assorted color roses. All the roses being given away were purchased from The Elite Flower, the largest family-owned, sustainable flower farm in the world.
“This Christmas we want to bless the lives of others, both at home and abroad by partnering with organizations that are focused on doing good in their community,” Arizona Flower Market owner Cheryl Denham explains. “When a customer donates a toy in exchange for roses, they are not only blessing a local Arizona child, but they are blessing many lives abroad by supporting Elite’s charitable foundation which does amazing work within the community they serve. Through our partnership with organizations like The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and The Elite Flower, we can multiply the blessings.”
“Arizona Flower Market is always finding creative and generous ways to involve the community in their support of The Society of St. Vincent de Paul,” said Danielle McMahon, director of dining rooms at The Society of St. Vincent de Paul. “Their annual food and toy drives have become an important source of donations for the community. Their generosity is much appreciated and we value our relationship with them.”
The free flowers for toys and food are available during the Flower Market’s regular business hours through 2 p.m. Dec. 24. Customers must come to the market with their donation to claim their free flowers. Limit one bunch per customer.
