A fresh bouquet. A knock at the door. A reminder that someone cares. 💐

This spring and summer, clients in the Tri-Valley have been receiving beautiful flower arrangements thanks to the Kindness Flower Project, a volunteer-supported project based in Livermore that grows, harvests, arranges, and delivers bouquets each week to brighten the lives of others.

Founded by Livermore resident Molly Fisher, the Kindness Flower Project began with a simple idea: sharing extra flowers from her garden with people who could use a little joy. Today, with the help of dedicated volunteers, those flowers are bringing smiles to seniors, food pantry guests, women’s shelters, grief support groups, and others throughout the community.

During the spring and summer months, the Kindness Flower Project donates several dozen arrangements at a time to Spectrum Community Services. We alternate deliveries among our Meals on Wheels clients, helping bring beauty, connection, and kindness right to their doors.

Thank you to Molly Fisher and the wonderful volunteers of the Kindness Flower Project for reminding our clients that they are seen, valued, and remembered. 🌸

What an unforgettable Show Your Love event, thanks to partners like Granite Insurance Brokers! ❤️

From hosting when unexpected rain changed our plans, to welcoming and celebrating our amazing volunteers, Granite shows in every way that matters. Their team has gone beyond sponsorship, rolling up their sleeves to help assemble emergency kits for our homebound Meals on Wheels clients and making sure our most vulnerable seniors are supported and prepared.

Because of partners like Granite, this year’s Show Your Love was not only sold out but filled with purpose, connection, and real impact for older adults across our community.

For more than five years, Granite has stood alongside us, contributing to charitable causes and helping ensure seniors are cared for, connected, and never forgotten.

This is what true partnership looks like, and we are so grateful!

🔥 Wildfire season is here!

Gavin Newsom proclaimed May 3–9 as Wildfire Preparedness Week in California. This year’s theme, “Prepare Today, Protect Tomorrow: Your Role in California’s Wildfire Safety,” reminds us that everyone has a role in staying safe and ready.

Older adults and people with disabilities may face additional challenges during emergencies, making preparedness especially important. The California Department of Aging’s Emergency Preparedness Guide offers practical tips and resources to help individuals, caregivers, and families plan ahead, stay informed, and be ready to act.

We were excited to welcome volunteers from Kaiser Permanente for a day of service and connection at the San Leandro Senior Center! 💖
