Online Floral/Gift Company Launches Holiday Collection To Help Create Employment Opportunities For People Of Differing Abilities

How impactful can a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates be? Well, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. recently unveiled a special collection of eight seasonal gifts to benefit Smile Farms®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating meaningful jobs in agricultural settings for individuals with developmental disabilities. Now through December 24, 2019, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc., which owns several gift companies, will donate 20 percent of the net proceeds from purchases made from this collection to Smile Farms, the company’s signature philanthropic partner. This marks the second year the company has curated a selection of gifts from across its family of brands to raise funds and awareness for Smile Farms.

“It’s estimated that 80% of adults in the United States with a developmental disability are unemployed, making the work of Smile Farms more important than ever,” said Chris McCann, Chief Executive Officer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. “Through this special holiday gift collection, we invite our customers to help us support Smile Farms in expanding on its mission to generate job opportunities for people who are differently-abled and provide them with a way to contribute impactfully to their local communities.”

“We’re so appreciative of all the support 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and its talented team provide to Smile Farms year-round – through volunteering their time and resources, and being proud brand ambassadors who stand behind our mission,” said Jennifer Low, Vice President, Smile Farms Inc. “This holiday initiative is a wonderful example of all they do for us.
