This past weekend, a group of young high school students from Oakville visited retirement homes in the community to distribute individual flowers to residents.
Organized by Abbey Park High School's Interact Club Co-Presidents Sami Gupta and Shivaani Sundralingam, and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar, Project Bloom saw volunteers visiting local retirement homes to distribute individual flowers to residents.
Venvi Churchill Place and Sunrise Senior Living Oakville welcomed the volunteers, who distributed over 100 flowers donated by Oakville flower shops, including Stems and Petals Floral Design, Judy's Blooms, and Moon's Flowers Oakville.
"Project Bloom was a heartwarming experience," said Shivaani Sundralingam, Abbey Park Student and member of Interact Club.
"We went to Venvi Churchill Place and Sunrise Senior Living Oakville with an ultimate goal of bringing a smile to the faces of the elderly and to brighten their day with the beauty and fragrance of fresh flowers."
The event captured touching moments, demonstrating the power of community kindness. Sundralingam hopes that sharing Project Bloom's story will inspire others to engage in similar acts of goodwill.
