By Friday, dozens of volunteers assembled at the Dunn Community Center to make flower arrangements to deliver to 19 nursing homes in the region later in the day. More than $5,600 was raised to ensure more than 1,460 vases would be delivered to every patient at each nursing home. Surles said volunteers and others made it possible, along with donations from the local community as well as Raleigh and Charlotte. The man who made the donation from Charlotte, Surles said, has a mother who used to live in the Carolina Inn assisted living community in Fayetteville, and he wanted to ensure patients there had flowers delivered. Another donor wanted to make sure bouquets were also sent to the nurse’s station to thank them f... https://www.fayobserver.com/story/news/2020/09/04/dunn-community-others-make-special-delivery-during-covid-19-pandemic/5719277002/
