On Saturday, dozens of community members came together to harvest beautiful yellow flowers.
ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Dozens of community members came together Saturday to harvest sunflowers.
It’s part of the Sunflower Project’s spring cleaning event hosted by local nonprofit Love 1 Another.
The sunflowers were planted in March with the goal of eventually harvesting them and donating them to elderly care facilities across the city.
This goal was achieved this weekend.
“This is a thank you to the caregivers in nursing homes, to the people who help the elderly, and to the people who live in nursing homes. This is just a small gift to brighten their day,” said Perry Kesler, president of Love 1 Another.
A gift to spread a little love in the community, and also a reminder that loved ones we have lost still shine down on us.
“I just think that almost everyone loves sunflowers and they make people smile. My mother loved sunflowers, she passed away a few years ago. And so we got her a lot of them,” said Perry Kesler.
The Love 1 Another nonprofit organization was founded in 2003 with the goal of promoting peace and love among communities in New Mexico.
