Mother's Day Flowers With A Purpose Being Sold By North Texas Nonprofit

Beautiful floral arrangements are synonymous with Mother’s Day, making up a quarter of flower sales in the U.S. each year. To honor all mothers, including those they serve, a local non-profit is creating a flower pop-up shop where people can buy flowers for the mom in their life, while also supporting other local moms.

It is an event organized by Nexus Recovery Center, a Dallas-based, non-profit that offers addiction treatment services to adult women. It is also the only treatment center in North Texas that accepts women in the late stages of pregnancy and allows children to accompany their mothers into treatment.

Heather Ormand, the CEO of Nexus Recovery Center, says this Friday a group of volunteers and Nexus clients will gather to handcraft the bouquets. Then, on Saturday they will pass out the florals with a drive-thru distribution event on the Nexus campus.
