Flower to the People is a volunteer-run project that grows and gives away flowers to support immigrant families impacted by immigration enforcement.

We ask that if you take flowers home, that you donate to support Project Relief Maine and Maine Needs (suggested donation: $15–20). 100% of donations are sent weekly to both organizations.

Your donation helps:

Immigrant families facing ICE enforcement access legal assistance and emergency support.
Families experiencing detention or displacement receive food, shelter, and other immediate necessities.

Join us in making a difference. Every dollar counts, and together we can help keep our neighbors safe. Thank you 🫶

More about the organizations your donation supports:

Project Relief Maine

Project Relief Maine is a Black immigrant-led mutual-aid and racial-justice organization founded in 2019. It supports immigrant communities facing crises such as detention, deportation, homelessness, and food insecurity through legal assistance, emergency housing, food, and community defense. Project Relief's work is rooted in the idea that when systems fail or put people at risk, communities can organize to protect one another.

Maine Needs

Maine Needs began in 2018 with a grassroots effort to support asylum-seeking mothers and young children arriving in Maine. Today, this volunteer-powered nonprofit connects people across Maine with clothing, hygiene supplies, household goods, and other basic necessities. While Maine Needs now serves people experiencing many kinds of hardship, immigrant and asylum-seeking families remain an important part of its work. Through a network of caseworkers, teachers, nurses, and community organizations, Maine Needs helps turn what one person has to give into something another person urgently needs.

More about Flower to the People:

Flower to the People is entirely volunteer-run. We grow and give away flowers as a small, joyful way to turn community generosity into support for organizations doing difficult and essential social justice work in Maine.

We have a flower stand on College Ave in Gorham, ME and put out flower buckets at local events. We grow our own flowers and also give new life to donated blooms from local florists and flower farmers. If you’d like to get involved or donate blooms to the project, email flowertothepeoplemaine@gmail.com.
