OUR PARTNERS
Franzie’s Flower Friends exists to deliver repurposed flowers to non-profits, healthcare centers and women’s shelters to boost moral, encourage and motivate. All supplies and unusable flowers are recycled and or composted.
We couldn't do this without our partners.
GROCERY STORES
-
Franzie's Flower Friends recycle and reuse flowers which are no longer fresh enough to be sold in the grocery stores we partner with.
-
Instead of the dumpster, these repurposed flowers find a new home and brighten someone's day, even if just for a day.
-
The process has more than one positive impact by also reducing waste in the community.
-
Before these flowers go in the dumpster, Franzie's Flower Friends volunteers select the ones suitable to be repurposed.
-
All other unusable flowers will be composted with a local partner in the community.
-
Community outreach is being provided by mentioning our partners on the card that goes in each bouquet, so the recipient knows their donor.
-
Franzie's Flower Friends is an IRS registered 501(c)3 charity and provides donation history and tax information to enable participating businesses and partners to write-off donations as a charitable gift.
FUNERALHOMES
-
As many funerals see an abundance of flowers going to waste, families who receive them in the first place have a chance to share the love they have received from family and friends with others.
-
Franzie's Flower Friends will handle all the logistics with the venue partner and collect any left over flowers.
-
These flowers will be repurposed if possible or composted if not. Either way, individuals can do good in the community and bring smiles to people when they need them.
-
We respect the individual donor's privacy but are happy to include their names on the cards that come with each bouquet.

FLOWER SHOPS
-
Franzie's Flower Friends do not compete with other flowers shops and businesses.
-
Rather, our goal is to use the already existing network of floral professionals in the local market to strengthen the positive impact repurposed flowers will have on people who are otherwise overlooked when it comes to giving the gift of beautiful flower bouquets.
-
Additionally, we promote the positive impact of recycle, reuse and compost rather than discard.
