KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- A local non-profit charity takes donated flowers and turns them into beautiful arrangements for patients in East Tennessee hospitals.

It's called "Random Acts of Flowers" and over the past 3 years they've delivered 10,000 bouquets to hospitals, hospice centers and nursing homes.

They take donated flowers from events like weddings, memorial services, bridal shows and floral shops. The flowers are then put together in a fresh and new bouquet.

Larsen Jay, founder of Random Acts of Flowers told us "It's something for someone else for no other reason than it's the right thing to do."

Volunteers spent time putting the flowers together and delivering them twice a week.

Ann Styron, a volunteer told us "You're taking something that's going to be thrown in the garbage anyway. But we give the flowers a second life that makes someone else happy."

You can always help "Random Acts of Flowers" by suggesting to donate flowers from an event. Also, they're always in need of volunteers and monetary donations.
