It’s Magic: Turn Flowers Into Meals

Each month, the Stop & Shop Bloomin’ 4 Good Program selects an “exceptional hunger organization” local to each store to benefit from the sale of specially marked $10.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquets. We are delighted to share that for the month of September 2022—abracadabra!—LifePath is the selected organization, with proceeds directed toward our Meals on Wheels and nutrition programs!

When you need a colorful bouquet for a special occasion or “just because,” swing by the Stop & Shop at 89 French King Highway in Greenfield and purchase a Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet (look for the red circle!). 

Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquets are a vibrant mix of flowers arranged to brighten spirits and celebrate milestones. For each bouquet purchased for $10.99 (plus tax), LifePath will receive a $1.00 donation from this Stop & Shop program. Voilà! 

There’s no hocus pocus here. With each $1 LifePath receives, our flagship program, Meals on Wheels, benefits, and so do the people who receive meals and a wellness check. To further support nutritional needs in this community, this summer LifePath added a supper meal option to our Meals on Wheels offerings – shazam! LifePath also hosts a number of other nutrition-based support programs including the new-this-year Farm to Home Food Program and a grocery shopping service.

We are always in need of more volunteers who play a vital role in delivering LifePath services to eligible participants. LifePath has immediate needs for: Meals on Wheels volunteer drivers who deliver meals on weekdays and provide a wellness check, and grocery shoppers who manage lists, payment, shopping, and grocery handoff. Ordering is done online for the Farm to Home Food Program food boxes that are delivered to homes monthly. For those unable to access the internet, volunteers who place orders on their behalf are needed. If you are interested in these or other volunteer opportunities with LifePath – here’s the trick – contact Carmela Lanza-Weil at clanza-weil@lifepathma.org or 413-773-5555, Ext. 3006.

Please work your magic of turning flowers into nutritional support during the month of September for the people LifePath serves by purchasing a Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet from the Stop & Shop at 89 French King Highway in Greenfield. You may want to whisper “Ta da!” when you choose your magical bouquet. 

Let Stop & Shop know how “exceptional” elders are by showing your support during the month of September. Thank you for making a difference for the people LifePath serves.
