901 POP

Thank you so much, Briarcrest Middle School Cheer Team, for joining us to spread joy! 💐

The BCS Middle School Cheer Team recently assisted 901
Pops at a service event by handing out flower bouquets to residents at the Ciel Retirement Home. The quality time they spent with the residents was an incredible blessing to everyone involved!

Educating Minds. Engaging Hearts. Equipping Disciples.

Two events = double the flower fun!💐

A big thank you to the Pierce Family and to Alex & Nelson for donating rehearsal dinner and wedding florals to give them a second life of spreading joy! 🤍

Volunteers created repurposed arrangements on both Saturday and Sunday. A special shout out to the Briarcrest Middle School cheerleaders who delivered the beautiful blooms with pretty notes 💌 to residents and staff at the Ciel of Germantown (formerly Brookdale).

We’re looking forward to repurposing more flowers over the next two weeks! 🌸

Three generations 💐🌻🌷

Cynthia started volunteering with 901 POP back in 2020, and we are thankful for the many ways she has put our mission into action. Most recently she has been helping with our arranging and delivering ~ the heart of what we do to !

And a few years later her daughter Emily joined in the flower fun! We’ve loved having both of these ladies volunteer and the cherry on top is Emily’s young family helping too.

Emily shared: “Volunteering to me means getting to teach my kids that it’s important to spend their time helping others. I’ve loved teaching them to learn to talk to adults and how to have a conversation with them. They also now love flowers which is fun to see them pick out their favorites and try to make pretty arrangements!”

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers and mother figures who share love with their families and community. 💗

❤️ What a dynamic duo! ❤️

We are so glad Jennifer recruited her mom Rose Ann to volunteer with 901 POP. They work tirelessly behind the scenes and also lead arranging so that we can spread joy through repurposed flowers.

Jennifer said, “With a busy schedule, volunteering at 901 POP allows us to spend extra time together. We both love to arrange flowers and being able to spread joy is the icing on top. 901 POP has also allowed us to meet the kindest individuals.”

What is your favorite memory of serving together with 901 POP? “I think Rose Ann and I always divide and conquer if it’s arranging or putting away clean vases. We enjoy being able to spend time together arranging flowers so I feel like each arraning shift could be a favorite memory.”

Thank you both so very much for all you do to make our mission possible! 🌺

Amanda is another mom we celebrate and thank for all she does for 9O1 POP. We are so grateful that she has found many opportunities to involve her family in our mission! 💐

She shares:
“I originally got involved with 901 POP since it was a volunteer opportunity that was easy to juggle as a mom. Flexible shifts, sign up at your own convenience, something for everyone etc. I soon learned it was a wonderful opportunity to involve my kids. My daughter particularly fell in love with 901 POP and it’s been a joy to see her continued interest and willingness to volunteer with me.

Instilling the importance of service and kindness to my children is high on my mom duties list and volunteering with 901 POP has given me the ability to share both of those things with my children.” ❤️

As we celebrate our mothers, Stephanie takes us back to October 2019, just a month after 901 POP was founded, to a favorite memory with her mom.

“This was a repurposing event I’ll never forget. The floral quantity was much more than expected. I stayed up until 6:30 am on a Sunday morning arranging flowers and wasn’t nearly finished. 😩 Fortunately others came to my rescue that afternoon, and the first one to arrive was my mom.

I recently found notes from this arranging and delivery event that said: My reinforcement - Mom brought supplies, bought me sweet tea (not once but twice 😅) and helped me with deliveries that were not easy on the emotions. I’m finding that joy in the ordinary truly is extraordinary.

I’ve had many more special moments with my mom who has done so much to make our mission possible!” ❤️

As we celebrate mothers and mother figures this time of the year, we’re shining a light on women who inspire service, compassion and connection in 901 POP. We’re especially grateful for Amy Wilhite, who you often see leading our pick up crew. A dedicated “night owl” AND “early bird” who has rescued countless flowers, Amy has passed on her heart for service to her daughter Mary. Mary is a senior at St. Agnes and is headed to the University of Arkansas in August. We asked Mary to share about her volunteer experiences with her mom. 💗

Your mom does an amazing job leading the 901 POP pick-up crew. Can you share some of the ways you have volunteered with 901 POP? I volunteer with my mom when she needs another hand or car because of the quantity of flowers being picked up. I have also helped with the turkey and lovebug deliveries, along with other floral deliveries around Memphis.

Do you have a favorite memory of volunteering with your mom at 901 POP? My favorite memory was when we went to a nursing home to deliver flowers and watched the residents’ faces light up over a simple arrangement. Another fun memory is making the flower balloons for 901 POP’s birthday parties!

Can you share a bit about the role of volunteering in your mom’s life and the example she has set for you? I remember when my mom first started to get more involved with 901 POP and hearing her talk about the amazing things the organization does. It made me want to volunteer. She has shown me that it takes lots of people to help things run smoothly, so everything from trimming the bottom of flowers to arranging and delivering them – it all holds an importance.

Why would you invite others to volunteer with 901 POP? There are so many different ways to get involved, and there is something for everyone. It can be something more independent such as cleaning buckets or it could be going out and delivering the flowers and talking to people.

Thank you, Amy and Mary, for the many ways you have put our mission into action…and a big congratulations, Mary, on your graduation! 🌟

A big thank you to Caroline and the Town of Collierville Burch Library for coordinating a vase drive and service program for 901 POP! On Saturday we collected 125 vases/jars, and volunteers made clothespin crafts (note holders) and wrote notes. The notes accompanied the beautiful arrangements yesterday. 💌

We love partnerships that help us spread more joy! 💐
