For the first time, The Curbside Chronicle, an organization employing people experiencing homelessness, is selling succulent arrangements for Father’s Day.
Vendors will be making and selling the arrangements at pop-up shops around the metro between June 19-21. Pre-ordering online at www.curbsideflowers.org by June 17 is recommended.
“Curbside vendors are being trained and paid to build succulent arrangements, practicing job skills like teamwork, communication and how to follow detailed instructions,” according to a press release. “They are then employed to sell the arrangements around town at various pop-up shops, exercising time management and social skills.”
Once vendors have been paid, profits are reinvested into the program.
Pop-up shop locations include DNA Galleries in The Plaza District, the Wheeler District, and Citizens Bank of Edmond.
“Dads can be hard to shop for,” said Ranya O'Connor, director of The Curbside Chronicle. “This is a creative way to show him that you care while giving the gift of empowerment to someone in Oklahoma City who is working to make their situation better.”
The Curbside Chronicle’s main employment opportunity revolves around selling a monthly magazine, but the group also hosts Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day flower campaigns, as well as selling Christmas wrapping paper designed by local artists.
