Today is Veterans Day, offering a moment to pause and reflect on the dedication, hard work, and sacrifice of the many members of America’s Armed Forces. We offer our deepest admiration and our sincerest thanks to our own veteran employees – and their supportive families – for all that they have done in service of our nation. We are the home of the free because of the brave – and, for this, we are immensely grateful.

Next Monday is Veterans Day, offering a great opportunity to express gratitude to those who have served our country in the armed forces. This year, building on over 15 years of working with the veterans’ organization WeSalute, the 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, INC. family of brands is helping people thank a service member in a new way. Visit our Greeting Cards page through Nov. 6, select a FREE greeting card and enter your thanks. We will then print each card and send it to WeSalute, which will then mail them to veterans from all branches. Thank a veteran today: https://lnkd.in/eMS-Z39m

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃 From New York to Oregon, our teams celebrated All Hallows' Eve in spooktacular style!

Huge thanks to all our team members who helped bring these amazing events to life! Wishing everyone a fang-tastic, safe, and happy Halloween!

This month, our talented Emeralds enjoyed a unique, hands-on look behind the scenes at our Ohio facilities! From touring our fulfillment and distribution centers to getting an insider’s view of the iconic Cheryl's Cookies bakery, they witnessed the full journey - from baking and frosting to packaging and shipping. They may have even picked up some pro cookie-frosting skills along the way! And, of course, no visit would be complete without a taste test of the final product. Stay tuned for more highlights from our Emeralds program!

We’re proud to keep celebrating #AmazingMoms all year long, and this month, we’re excited to introduce Cassy Caputo. As a single mom of three, Cassy has always believed in her son Keith, who has Down syndrome, and his potential to achieve great things. Keith works at Smile Farms Inc. and was named Farmer of the Year in 2020 - a recognition that inspired him to give back. Together, Cassy and Keith founded Helping Makes U Happy, and their organization has raised over $100,000, creating a lasting impact in their community. Discover more about their inspiring journey and the incredible difference they’re making: https://lnkd.in/eagFdvhm #NationalDisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth #NDEAM

Last week, the Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit made a visit to our Jericho headquarters. The Exhibit represents the TEACH pillar of the Wreaths Across America mission, sharing information about the veterans and those who serve our country, and how everyone can play a part in remembering and honoring them.

Colleagues from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, INC. have participated in the Wreaths Across America event for the past few years and look forward to supporting it again on December 14!

We believe relationships are at the heart of any successful business. That sentiment was echoed by Harry & David Senior Procurement Manager Tony Huckabee as he connected with CEO Jim McCann and reflected on the brand’s 90-year legacy.   Tony, a 34-year veteran at Harry & David, stressed how social connections are part of everything he does at work, whether it’s collaborating with colleagues or interacting with our many vendors. He’s also quick to point out that many of those people have become mentors over the years.   Check out Tony's conversation with Jim and stay connected by signing up for the Celebrations Pulse newsletter here:  https://lnkd.in/eMzr-EDF
