As we celebrated our first birthday in October and are recapping the year, we wanted to share some ways The Flourish Society embraces + supports women locally and virtually. Thank you to the businesses and people who have supported what we do!

KINDNESS PROJECTS

We hit the town on Random Acts of Kindness Day to spread the love to those working hard behind the scenes by delivering 'Light Up Your Lobby' surprises, 'Break Room Blessing' baskets. and gave extra tips to those that serve us daily. We painted rocks with the Mom's Club of Holland and their kiddos. This fall, we partnered with Huisman Flowers + the Joy99 JoyBus to #petalitforward and give over 350 flower bouquets to people all over Holland. The smiles, the tears and the gratefulness we were met with was genuine + priceless.

CANCER CARE PACKAGES

What began with a fun dance party, we raised over $1,100 by partnering with Heather Winia + Groove Michigan to provide love + care to women going through cancer journey's. We packed them full with personal care items, journals, books, magazines, bird feeders, wind chimes, restaurant + grocery gift cards and more. Each one was personalized for the gal receiving it. Thanks to you, we were able to make five special deliveries! Read some of their stories on our blog page. Now, we have created an Amazon wish list to continue these gifts.

BIBLE + BOOK STUDIES

Thanks to Journey of Hope Yoga, our volunteer leaders and some tech donations, we were able to hold bible studies both in person and virtually. We dug into Christine Caine's Success series, Jennie Allen's Get Out of Your Head study along with Anointed, Transformed & Redeemed by Priscilla Shier, Beth Moore + Kay Arthur. Over 40 women joined us in these studies from as far away as Florida!

SOCIAL + SELF CARE EVENTS

From a retreat on Lake Michigan sponsored by Metanoia Life + Health Coaching, to our first annual Spring Soireé at Seventy-Six, to the Fall FUNdraiser charcuterie class with Lake to the Lake catering, we've gathered more than 100 women for socializing, networking, learning and just plain fun this year. One thing we learned after covid was that we want to connect, grow + bloom together!

SHOP OUR MERCH

Our board member, Amber Darsh of Color Me Well Graphics has created a way for you to help us toss confetti to the people in your life with a shopping page. We are now offering tees, hoodies, crews, coffee mugs, and kitchen towels, with sweatshirt blankets soon to come.
