Community Involvement

Pesche’s Flowers, Inc. is deeply involved in the community in which it serves. We are committed to supporting not only area clubs and associations, but we also sponsor programs and outreach activities to the enter Des Plaines area. Below are just a few of the seminars, speaking engagements, donations, and outreach programs that we help sponsor.

This holiday season, Pesche’s has teamed up with the Self–Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines. Please help Pesche’s in supporting this community organization by placing a non-perishable food item in the red barrel located in our lobby. The Self–Help Closet & Pantry can be contacted at:
