Brighten Lives with Random Acts of Flowers

Who We Are

We are five students from the University of Tennessee, united by our love for our city and our commitment to spreading joy and compassion! Partnering with Random Acts of Flowers, we are inspired by the spirit of kindness and the power of small gestures to make a big difference. We believe in giving back by supporting an organization that brings emotional healing by delivering flowers to individuals in healthcare facilities and other communities in need.

Random Acts of Flowers “(RAF)” is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that recycles donated flowers and uses them to craft beautiful bouquets, which are then delivered to people in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice care. By delivering these floral arrangements, Random Acts of Flowers brings moments of joy and emotional support to those going through difficult times, helping to uplift their spirits and foster a sense of connection within our community.

What We Need

Since its founding in 2008, RAF Knoxville has distributed over 186,700 bouquets to individuals in healthcare facilities, thanks to the over 100,000 volunteer hours. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for RAF, every dollar counts and your contributions will go directly to purchasing gas for RAF’s van, which is used to deliver flowers to healthcare facilities and nursing homes across the Knoxville area. Each year, the organization spends $2,000 on gas, meaning a $1,000 donation would cover about half of the cost!

By contributing to this fund, you are helping provide flowers to people who need a bright moment in their day, whether they are recovering in the hospital or facing a challenging time in hospice care.

How It Helps

Your generosity towards supplying fuel for RAF’s van will help brighten the lives of countless individuals in Knoxville. Each flower delivery creates a ripple effect of positivity, bringing smiles to patients, healthcare workers, and family members, which would not be possible without generous donations from people like you! The impact of just a single bouquet is profound—offering comfort, support, and a reminder that someone cares. With your help, Random Acts of Flowers can continue delivering these moments of joy to those who need them the most.

How Else You Can Help

If you can’t donate, you can still make a difference in several ways! You can share our campaign page on social media to help spread the word. Join RAF as a volunteer to arrange or deliver flowers, or donate floral supplies to support the mission. Visit the Random Acts of Flowers website for more ways to get involved. Together, we can continue to brighten lives, one bouquet at a time!
