Rebloom Program Finds New Use For Old Flowers

It’s a new program that could very likely turn into a perennial.

U-Rebloom gathers flowers used at a variety of campus events and delivers them to local nursing homes, senior residences and hospice facilities.

Student volunteers travel with Kenney Center Director Angela Tatum, Dining Services Director of Operations Callie Stacey and Judith Gardner Ainlay, director of Special Institutional Relations, who conceived the idea.

“Students not only deliver flowers, but they also get to spend quality time with the residents,” said Tatum, who recounted “another fabulous day” at the Annie Schaffer Day Facility recently.
