Repurposed Blooms has received an AmeriCorps Seniors demonstration grant from the AmeriCorps federal agency to support 125 volunteers serving in Birmingham, Alabama. The grant will expand our presence in Jefferson and Shelby Counties.

With this new funding, Repurposed Blooms will leverage the skills and experience of adults aged 55 and older in the Birmingham and surrounding areas to increase social support to 1,000 older adults. The AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers will be helping arrange flowers and delivering the arrangements to those in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and to those who are home bound.
