Our Vision Statement

The Canadian Flowers for Food Society provides social and financial opportunities for senior citizens, homeless people, and/or those coping with severe mental illnesses. We accomplish this via donated potted plants and cut flowers. The beauty of giving in bloom: Thank you for helping us make better communities for everyone.

CFFFS Awarded Grant From The Calgary Foundation

The Canadian Flowers for Food Society would like to thank the Calgary Foundation donor and the foundation itself for their remarkable generosity in donating just under $13,000.00 to help support its growth. With these funds we will be able to hire new staff members to ensure consistency in operations and allow for the expansion of our street floral cart program to raise even more funds, promote our services, and help a greater number of clients including homeless people, those suffering from severe mental illnesses, senior citizens, and those who cope with living in all three marginalized groups, daily. The Canadian Flowers for Food Society is eternally grateful to its new donor for epitomizing the Beauty of Giving in Bloom – Thank You.

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.
