Valentine's Day Bouquet to Benefit the Branford Counseling Center

BRANFORD, CT – #branfordlove announces the debut of its #branfordlove bouquet this Valentine’s Day created in collaboration with Florals by Kait. Proceeds from the #branfordlove bouquet will go to the Branford Counseling Center.

The bouquet is available now through Valentine's Day and beyond.

The Branford Counseling Center (BCC) was created more than 40 years ago out of a grassroots effort to help support Branford residents struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues and has grown to be- come an inspiring Center in the community.

"We are honored that #branfordlove and Florals by Kait have created the beautiful #branfordlove bouquet to help support the Branford Counseling Center,” said BCC Clinical Director, Catherine Stone. “This bouquet rep- resents the inspiring power of community and the people (and businesses) who help make the Branford community so special.”

The#branfordlove bouquet features an arrangement of fresh, hand selected flowers wrapped in custom #bran- fordlove tissue paper. Branford’s #branfordlove movement is a top trending community hashtag initiative created by local business owner Shannon Beth Engravalle, of {sb}Cre8tive.

Engravalle’s idea was born out of her appreciation for the community and BCC.

From now thru Valentine’s Day people are encouraged to purchase and share a photo with their bouquet including the hashtag #branfordlove.

BCC offers a variety of services ranging from outpatient mental health treatment to social services.

In addition, the BCC offers a mentoring program in the Branford Schools and serves as the Youth Service Bureau for the Town of Branford, runs the annual Secret Santa Program, the Pat Andriole Family Day event, Summer Youth Employment Program for qualifying youth, and collects and distributes diapers for families in need.

Florals by Kait is offering free delivery for the #branfordlove bouquet throughout Branford.
