Brighten Up, a Nashville-based nonprofit, is spreading love and joy with fresh cut flower arrangements and gift bundles to those who have lost a spouse this Valentine’s Day.
Nominate a widow or widower who could benefit from a special Valentine's Day delivery through their submission form before the holiday. Nominations for recipients are open now through February 7.
“At Brighten Up, we believe Valentine’s Day is a time to remind everyone they’re loved and cared for, especially those who may be missing a late partner,” says Angie Hurst, founder of Brighten Up. “Our goal is to bring a little extra joy to widows and widowers in Nashville, letting them know they’re deeply valued, cherished, and never forgotten on this tender day.”
As the organization prepares for its third annual event, Hurst hope to gift floral arrangements and gift bags to 500 widows and widowers across the Greater Nashville area. Achieving this milestone would more than double the impact of last year’s initiative, which brightened the holiday for 226 widows. Brighten Up will include gifts with the flower deliveries, made possible by donations from Chef’s Market, Little Things Studio, Prickly Pear Coffee, and Able.
In addition to submitting nominations, individuals, businesses, and organizations can join Brighten Up by volunteering to help design and deliver the flower arrangements the week of February 10.
