Mar 06, 2023
Looking for a birthday gift that will delight the recipient and carry an extra-special message? Check out the Smile Farms Collection from the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. family of brands.
Every gift purchased from this collection will benefit the Farmers of Smile Farms, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities. Founded in 2015, Smile Farms focuses on providing meaningful vocational, educational, and employment opportunities that generate pride, enhance life skills, and offer socialization experiences.
“Like many other non-profits, Smile Farms has faced significant challenges during a time when our efforts were more needed than ever before,” says Smile Farms Managing Director Diana Martin. “1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. has long supported Smile Farms in its mission to foster new opportunities for people with disabilities. We feel so fortunate to be the recipients of their innovative approach to giving back, especially this year.
“The Smile Farms Collection encapsulates the value both 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. and Smile Farms place on connection, community, and celebrating our differences,” she says. “We are grateful to every person who shops from this collection – they are making a true difference with each dollar.”
About Smile Farms
Smile Farms is the signature philanthropic partner of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. It was started by the company’s founder, Jim McCann, and his brother, former CEO, Chris McCann.
The McCanns’ brother, Kevin, lives in a group home on Long Island, New York, run by the Independent Group Home Living Program (IGHL), and that program’s CEO, Walter Stockton, had mentioned to Jim that he was having trouble finding work for residents.
Jim was happy to help. But when he scanned the local job market, he discovered that there were indeed very few options for people with developmental disabilities. The first Smile Farms campus opened up in 2015.
Today, Smile Farms has 11 campuses in the New York metro area. It has expanded its partnerships to include non-profits that serve not only individuals with developmental disabilities but those with other disabilities as well.?
Smile Farms creates meaningful opportunities at local farms, urban gardens, and greenhouses for hundreds of adults and youth with different abilities. There they can grow and sell flowers, plants, and produce in the communities where they live. Almost none of the farmers have worked before, so for the first time, they can experience the satisfaction of mastering new skills, the pleasure of contributing to their team and community, and the thrill of taking home a paycheck.
