Our Vision Statement

Provide opportunity and support for homeless, recovering people (mental affliction and/or physical addiction), and other marginalized or needy groups in Canada; We accomplish this via donated potted plants and cut flowers.

Flowers For Food Society

CFFFS registered Canadian charity under paragraph 149(1)(f) of the Income Tax Act (the Act). CFFFS is also a registered BC Society (BN: 84141 0756 RC001).

Donations needed for overhead

We are a grassroots organization with no primary source of funding. Members of our society on the streets keep 100% of all donations given to them. Please help us grow by making a small donation so that we may provide this amazing opportunity to more individuals.

A little goes a long way

A message from Crofton Manor that we wanted to share and a little nod to the power of small acts of kindness:

“CFFFS,

Thank you very much for thinking about Crofton Manor and dropping off so many beautiful Bromeliads (160 potted plants). The residents really enjoyed receiving them. It brightened their day.

Thanks again,

Susan Philcox

Director of Recreation

Crafton Manor”


 
A little message

A message we received today that we thought we would share because it made us smile:

“Hi Flowers for Food,

Audrey came around today and I bought some flowers from her. Thank you for your programme which I’m sure helps so many in need.

Warm regards,

KB”

 

 

 
Oakridge Senior Centre Floral Classes Making Arrangements and Many Smiles

The classes continue at the Oakridge Senior Centre with brilliant flowers and smiles for everyone.

 
Classes at Living Room Shelter Blossom

In a joint venture with CFFFS, floral classes at the Living Room Shelter on Powell Street started on August 9th. These classes bring individuals from marginalized groups in our community  together to create arrangements which will then be displayed in businesses all across Vancouver. In return those businesses make donations back to the participating members of the classes. Know any businesses that want flowers to brighten their space? Then let us know!

As you can see from these pictures, the classes are already a blooming success!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Floral classes blooming at Haro Park Centre

Floral classes continue in its third year at the Haro Park Centre with fantastic arrangements being created for local Vancouver businesses. These arrangements will be distributed around the city and in return businesses donate back to the ladies at the Haro and CFFFS so we can keep running these programs!
