A local flower shop is doing its part to help those
in Ukraine.
Flowers have always had symbolic meaning through the
centuries and sunflowers are the Ukrainian national flower.
“I figured
if there was one way to help it was to raise money,” said Dana
Baron, of Baron Floral Designs.
Baron says she puts bouquets outside her store when
she is not there, and people just come and take them on the honor system and
put money in her mail slot or electronically pay her.
“I’m donating
all the proceeds. We’ve been donating to World Central Kitchen, which is
a great organization there supplying food for people in need, especially the
refugees right now,” says Baron.
Baron says they have sold 75 bouquets or more, and has donated almost $400
dollars already. Sh plans on keeping it going.
