DEI Policy
At Bluebirds & Blooms, we are dedicated to cultivating joy, fostering connections, and promoting sustainability through the gift of recycled flowers. Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to experience the beauty of flowers, warmth of a smile and the power of human connection, regardless of their background or circumstance.
Our Commitment: Inclusivity through Joy: We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where joy knows no boundaries. We recognize and celebrate the diversity of individuals living in care communities, understanding that each person & unique experiences contribute to the rich tapestry of our shared humanity.
Equity in Access: We strive to ensure that the joy and connection we bring through recycled flowers are accessible to all, irrespective of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, or socio-economic status. We actively work to identify and address any barriers to participation in our programs.
Sustainability at the Heart: Our commitment to sustainability goes hand-in-hand with our dedication to equity and inclusion. By accepting donated flowers and championing environmentally conscious practices, we aim to create a positive impact on the planet while ensuring the benefits of our mission reach as many individuals as possible.
