Christmas Party

FloraCraft hosts an annual free Christmas Party for children, featuring crafts, bike giveaways, a visit from Santa and festive cheer. The event has become a community staple to ring in the holiday season. Originally held on FloraCraft’s campus, the event grew over the years to be a huge success. In 2023, the event was moved to Sandcastles Children’s Museum in downtown Ludington where attendees can now explore the many exhibits while getting into the holiday spirit.

Rose Parade

In January 2024, FloraCraft sent a selection FōM to assist California Polytechnic University students in bringing their highly anticipated Rose Parade float to life. The float, Shock n’ Roll: Powering the Musical Current, embraced the idea that community and harmony can exist in any environment. The float tells the story of a community of electric eels and rays living in a sea of electric instruments.

Community Flowers

After an event that used an extensive selection of flowers from local purveyor All Occasions Events & Florals, FloraCraft team members found a special way to repurpose the fresh stems. Team members broke down large arrangements into individual-sized creations to deliver to local hospitals and assisted living facilities. The floral bouquets brought a little extra cheer to everyone who received one of the colorful creations.

Volunteer Time Off

Annually, each FloraCraft team member receives eight hours of volunteer time off to contribute to a local nonprofit. This encourages team members to support a cause they are passionate about, as well as gain new skills, build relationships and make a positive impact in the world. At FloraCraft, we believe volunteering not only helps the community, but also fosters personal growth, team building and fulfillment. To date, FloraCraft employees have logged a total of XXXX volunteer hours.
