JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - s4story -- This holiday season, Kuhn Flowers is bringing the spirit of giving home with its annual Spread Joy Gift Drive, a trio of community-focused initiatives designed to brighten the holidays for military families, school children, and families in need.

Through the flagship initiative, Operation Connecting Hearts, Kuhn Flowers will create heartfelt gift baskets featuring fresh flowers, donated products, and gift certificates for five local military families with loved ones serving overseas. These baskets are a tangible thank-you and a reminder that their sacrifices are deeply appreciated by the Jacksonville community.

Alongside supporting military families, Kuhn Flowers is helping local children and families through its Annual Toy Drive and partnership with Yulee Primary School. Both initiatives are accepting new, unwrapped gifts and monetary donations to bring holiday joy to those in need.
