News from Joy Blooms

Growing in South Bend

We’re gaining momentum at our South Bend workspace!

We are now creating bouquets at our Holy Cross Village workspace on the 1st and 4th Thursdays of most months, in addition to scheduled donations from Notre Dame venues. Because of our incredible volunteers, we’re able to serve even more nursing facilities, senior communities, and nonprofits in the South Bend area!

Volunteers are still needed. Come experience joy and help us share it!

Vases Needed

Thanks to Thor Industries for collecting vases for our mission!

We can use most sizes, but smaller and bud vases are especially helpful right now. If your organization would like to host a collection, please contact us through our website.

New Partnerships

We are excited to welcome these new partners:

• Ruthmere Museum

• The Haven by the Bend

• Group Home by the Dome

• Pendle Home

• The Providence Home by Fir

• Beacon Children’s Hospital

We are so happy to serve your communities!

Volunteer Opportunities

As we grow, more volunteers are needed in various areas!

Consider joining our mission—make new friends, find fulfillment, enjoy the beauty of flowers and experience a caring, joyful community.
