Mother's Day Flower Sale for Tzedekah
|
|
Tell your female relatives you care about them and help women & children in Domestic Violence shelters.
Flower
Project Send your
mother, grandmother, aunt, & other special
women in your life a Mother's Day card and do
a good deed at the same time. Every year
JWI's
Mother's Day Flower Project delivers flowers
to more than 150 battered women's shelters
across the United States and Israel on
Mother's Day.
You can be part of this gesture of support
and encouragement - both to the special women
in your life (mothers, daughters, sisters,
granddaughters, and friends) who receive
beautiful Mother's Day cards when you make
donations to the project in their honor, and
to the thousands of mothers whose holiday is
brightened as they spend this special day in
a shelter, away from home.
Proceeds from the Mother's Day Flower Project
help at-risk women and children on Mother's
Day and all year, funding a variety of JWI
programs that offer comfort and opportunities
to start building a brighter, independent
future. Make sure to scroll down to
"Hillel at Miami University" in the
partnering organizations so that our Hillel
gets credit for your purchase.
For more information, go to order
website.
