Florists brighten up Mother’s Day for seniors

Flowers are known to lift our spirits. And Daniel and Nancy Sexton, owners of Kissimmee Florist, www.kissflowers.com, have a great way to spread floral joy.

For almost 10 years, they have given Mother’s Day carnations to recipients of Meals on Wheels. A loose flower is placed on each meal tray. “It’s a feel-good thing,” says Daniel Sexton, whose shop is the oldest in the city.

It’s also a good opportunity for publicity, Sexton says, adding that he makes a point of letting local media outlets know about the donations.

About 300 meals are delivered on Mother’s Day. If you’d like to sponsor a meal, call: 407-846-8532.
