The main thing we need
Flowers, the day after.
If an event is winding down and the arrangements are about to be thrown out, tell us where they are. Most pickups happen within a day.
What works
Cut flowers in almost any condition. Roses, carnations, hydrangea, greenery, loose stems, corsages, whole centerpieces still in their vases. Volunteers sort out what's still holding up and rebuild the rest into small arrangements.
Flowers with visible mold, potted plants, and anything that's been sitting dry for more than about two days generally cannot be used. When in doubt, send the form anyway and we will tell you.
