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.
