FIRST® Flowers is an initiative that was founded by Camdenton LASER 3284 in 2021 after the team recognized the mental health setbacks their community experienced after the pandemic.

The goal of FIRST® Flowers is to create smiles and show these community members that someone cares even when they are isolated from their family. The students on this team create bouquets with flowers and vases that have been donated. The bouquet is paired with a handmade card with special notes written inside. This program is not possible without the support of the community. 3284 relies on donations from their community members to keep this program going. LASER 3284 is always accepting donations of flowers and vases of any kind.
