Sign-up and participation in the “Helping Hands” program is free to all confirmed non-profit charitable organizations.  

Through “Helping Hands”, Carithers Flowers has already generated $282.00 from 141 floral arrangement orders for The United Way of Metro Atlanta. The program is simple and straight forward. Each time an order is placed with each Carithers Flowers, the customer is given the opportunity to direct $2.00 from their purchase directly to United Way or to another charitable organization that has signed up to participate.

United Way of Metro Atlanta partners with nonprofits, community leaders, businesses, and the legislature to serve the 13-county metro region of Atlanta. The United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta coordinates with the communities of Butts, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Cowetta, Dekalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale counties in areas of education, income, health, and homelessness.
