Flowers For Troops is a nonprofit initiative founded by long-time florist and former veteran, Joseph Varley. With a deep appreciation for both the floral industry and the sacrifices of service members, Flowers For Troops is dedicated to bringing joy and comfort through the gift of flowers. By leveraging the resources and expertise of The Flower & Vine, this program provides scheduled floral deliveries to active-duty military personnel, veterans, and their families—both locally and overseas.
Mission: At Flowers For Troops, we believe that small gestures can have a profound impact. Our mission is to express gratitude and support for those who serve by delivering fresh, beautiful floral arrangements to brighten their days and boost morale. Whether stationed abroad or recovering at home, every recipient is reminded of the love and appreciation from their community.
How It Works
Scheduled Deliveries: Service members, veterans, and their families can sign up for regular flower deliveries, ensuring a consistent reminder of appreciation and support.
Local & Overseas Shipments: Arrangements are hand-delivered locally or carefully shipped to military bases and deployment zones worldwide.
Community & Corporate Sponsorships: Businesses and individuals can sponsor bouquets, making it possible for more service members to receive flowers.
Volunteer Opportunities: Local florists and volunteers assist in arranging and distributing flowers, fostering community involvement.
Why Flowers? Flowers have long been a symbol of love, encouragement, and gratitude. Studies show that fresh flowers can significantly improve emotional well-being, reduce stress, and create a positive atmosphere. For those stationed far from home or undergoing rehabilitation, receiving a floral arrangement can be a powerful reminder of their importance and the gratitude of those they serve.
