Get your flowers for Mom

A Mother’s Day tradition will return with the YWCA Central Alabama’s Flower Sale on Friday, May 10. Proceeds will benefit the YWCA KIDS Korner childcare for children of homeless families.

The sale will be held at the Ray & Poynor building in Mountain Brook Village as well as at Regions Plaza downtown from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

There will also be plants and flowers available at Children’s of Alabama from 8 a.m-1 p.m. and at Brookwood Medical Center from 10a.m.-2:00 p.m. Flowers will be sold outside under a tent at both locations.

YWCA Junior Board members, staff and community volunteers will be on hand to help shoppers select the perfect flowers for their mothers and other special women, teachers or friends.

Customers wishing to purchase flowers can view them prior to the sale at www.ywcabham.org/flowersale. The selection includes a greeting card as well as potted flowers, cut flowers and vases priced from $6-$40.

The YWCA KIDS Korner is the city’s only childcare facility for the area homeless families. Since 1989 the program has provided quality care to over 2,000 infants, toddlers and preschoolers who live in area homeless shelters. The program is free to parents and helps them to find work, participate in job training programs or seek housing.
