Volunteer Flower Project Celebrates Valentine's Day

Appalachian Community volunteers folded, ironed and cut 90 fabric flowers to spread the love in honor of Valentine’s Day. Our nurses delivered red and pink heart-shaped flower bouquets to the homes of 30 hospice clients as a way of ringing in the holiday. Thanks to contributions from our staff and various community members, who donated buttons, fabric and vases, Appalachian Community was able to provide our clients with these bright, fun decorations and pass on a bit of cheer. As a result of the success of the project, Volunteer Coordinator Christie Truly is looking to continue the program in years to come. Look for updates and photos on our next project in which volunteers will be constructing homemade St. Patrick’s Day cards for our hospice clients.
