Florists across central United States will gather over 20 tons of food for those in need November 9-14, 2026.
Dubbed “Caring Rose Week,” the stores are deeply discounting bouquets of one dozen roses and accepting canned goods as partial payment.
Florists in each community designate a food-distribution charity in their area. The canned goods collected are distributed to feed those within the community whom cannot otherwise meet their nutritional needs.
The food contributed by Caring Rose Week donors is significant, not only in quantity, but in quality.
Now in its 28th year, “Caring Rose Week” has distributed over one-half million pounds of food since its inception.
