Making dreams come true for adults with life-threatening illness.

Flower Empower is a volunteer program of the Dream Foundation that delivers donated flower bouquets to people battling catastrophic illness in the Santa Barbara area. Our goal is to bring beauty and hope to people, letting them know that they are not forgotten and that their community cares!

Since June 1994, Santa Barbara volunteers have made more than 20,000 flower deliveries. Volunteers of all ages meet each Saturday at the local farmers market to assemble bouquets of flowers donated by local growers. The bouquets are then delivered, along with encouraging cards from school children and homemade cookies, to hospitals, hospices, care facilities, and private homes. In 2007, a group of volunteers helped launch a Flower Empower program in Los Angeles, increasing the number of lives we touch each week. Bouquets, cards, Chocolats du Calibressan and homemade cookies are delivered to hospitals, hospices, care facilities, and private homes throughout the Los Angeles area.

Though Flower Empower began in Santa Barbara, our hope is that volunteers across the country will establish Flower Empower in their own communities, spreading hope across the nation‚ one flower at a time.
