🌷 Plant Something Beautiful. Make a Difference. 🌷

The Coordinating Center is excited to launch our Flower Bulb Fundraiser in partnership with Flower Power Fundraising!

🎉 We've already surpassed our original fundraising goal, but we're not stopping there. Every additional purchase helps us raise even more for The Center's Bridge Fund, providing immediate support to individuals and families in need.

Up to 50% of every purchase goes directly to the Bridge Fund, and your order ships straight to your door. It's an easy way to add beauty to your garden while making a meaningful impact in our community.
