In the spirit of sharing love, the Flower Project is an initiative that strives to give women in difficult circumstances in Alamance County a reason to smile by providing them with flowers this Valentine’s season. Freshman Chloe Allen, project pioneer, said a guest-speaker who visited her Winter Term human services class inspired the idea. “A woman with a background in family abuse services came to talk to us about her experience working at the battered women’s shelter,” Allen said.
