WASHINGTON, DC — In an industry often defined by one-night experiences, Encore Décor extends the life of its work well beyond the ballroom. Through an ongoing floral repurposing initiative, the Washington-based event design and production firm transforms post-event arrangements into meaningful deliveries for local nonprofits.
Following each event, floral arrangements are carefully repurposed and delivered the next day to charitable organizations throughout the metropolitan area such as the Veterans Hospital, A Wider Circle and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Most recently, Encore Décor has expanded its efforts to include Food & Friends.
The partnership with Food & Friends supports the organization’s mission of nourishing and uplifting individuals, many of whom are bedridden and facing serious illness. For recipients, these deliveries offer a sense of care, dignity, and unexpected joy.
“It’s about delivering not just flowers, but smiles,” says Ken Rosen, Founder and CEO of Encore Décor. “Philanthropy is an important part of our corporate culture. We believe that the work we do doesn’t end when an event is over—it can continue to have an impact in the community.”
This ongoing partnership reflects Encore Décor’s broader commitment to sustainability and community engagement as it continues to explore ways to extend the life of event materials while supporting organizations that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
