When buying Mother's Day flowers from the Shelton Jaycees, shoppers can feel good in knowing they are benefiting charitable causes. Every year, Jaycees' events support charities like the American Cancer Society and the Valley Food Bank.

The Shelton Jaycees, aka the Junior Chamber, are a group of volunteers between 21 and 40 years of age. It is a registered non-profit 501C-4, which runs dozens of community events each year.

According to the Jaycees, its members volunteer as much or as little as they like based on their interest in the event. The Jaycees' purpose is to provide hands on leadership experience and training, over and above what's available through employers and other organizations.
