A Little Bit of Extra Love on Valentine's Day

--by AtoJ, posted Aug 5, 2010

My church was assigned Valentine’s Day to serve a meal to homeless people. After reading a HelpOthers.org story about giving flowers out at a meal program, I formed the idea to augment our church activity with some colorful floral life. Building off of my intention, a fellow church member came forward to help pay for the flowers. At the event, we fed the hungry souls until they were stuffed, and then we gave flowers to anyone who wanted one. Our pastor even joined in to pass out flowers at the tables.

Later that day, I saw a lady with a carnation in her hand hugging the pastor, which led me to believe that the flower must have touched her in a special way. It is great that through a simple idea on this website, we were able to bring the food serving experience to a deeper level with some flower power!
