Leftover flowers are making a lasting impact!

When our volunteer Ruth Lohmann (also a designer at Kati Mac Floral Designs) saw an opportunity to brighten the days of our hospice patients and families, she and the team at Kati Mac brought the idea to life. Using flowers left over from weddings, their team creates beautiful arrangements for Willow Tree Hospice, an Amedisys company in Kennett Square, PA.

From the hands that design to the lives touched by each bouquet, every person involved is part of something beautiful. Thank you to the entire Kati Mac team for helping us serve with heart.
