Fruit and Flower?Mission?
Helping working parents raise generations of joyful learners.?
History?
In 1885, a group of teenaged girls formed an organization to make a charitable contribution to their community in Portland. They delivered baskets of fruit and bouquets of flowers to their less fortunate neighbors and to patients at Good Samaritan and St. Vincent�s Hospitals, and called themselves �The Children�s Flower Mission.�?
As they grew older, those far-thinking young women became aware of the pressing need for childcare on the part of single working mothers. They wanted to ensure that the children would not be neglected, but instead cared for, kept clean, and fed nourishing meals and snacks. In 1906, they opened Oregon�s first childcare program,?Fruit and Flower?Day Nursery of Portland.? ??
