Here at The Bouqs Co., we believe in celebrating love in all its forms and supporting the communities that inspire us every single day. That’s why we’re extremely proud of our lasting partnership with the Los Angeles LGBT Center, an important organization that has been advocating for equality, dignity, and care for LGBTQ+ individuals and families for more than five decades.
A Shared Mission: Supporting Love, Inclusion, and Growth
Our mission at The Bouqs Co. has always been rooted in nurturing meaningful connections through the delivery of delightful farm-fresh flowers. But we also believe that our goals extend far beyond the farm and are ultimately about cultivating kindness, championing diversity, and uplifting others. That’s why partnering with the LA LGBT Center is more than just a simple collaboration for us – it’s a natural alignment of our values. We’re honored to support their essential work and help bring more visibility and beauty to the causes that matter in our communities.
How We’ve Bloomed Together Over The Years
For more than five years, we’ve had the joy of partnering with the Center during Pride Month and beyond. In the past, our collaborations have included:
- Pride Bouquets that Give Back: We’ve previously created limited-edition Pride-themed Bouqs where a portion of the proceeds goes directly to support the Center’s life-changing services.
- The Pride Picnic & Q&A Spotlight: In 2021, we sponsored the Center’s annual Pride Picnic, a joyful celebration that brought together community members, allies, and advocates. We also sat down for a heartfelt Q&A with the Center’s team to highlight their work, share stories, and uplift LGBTQ+ voices.
- Spreading the Word with Every Stem: Through Pride Collections, social media blasts, and additional blog features about the Center’s mission, we’ve shared their vital message throughout our community and beyond.
Programs That Heal, Empower, and Inspire
The Center’s impact can be felt at every stage of life and in every corner of the LGBTQ+ community. In the field of health and wellness, they offer affirming, affordable care including HIV services, mental health counseling, transgender health programs, and so much more – all delivered in a safe, supportive environment.
Likewise, their Social Services & Housing efforts are equally life-changing. From emergency shelters for homeless LGBTQ+ youth to long-term housing solutions for seniors and survivors of abuse, the Center provides safety, stability, and a fresh start for those who need it most. Meanwhile, their Cultural Arts and Leadership programs shine a spotlight on LGBTQ+ voices and help nurture the leaders of tomorrow. Whether it’s through community theater, mentorship programs, or political advocacy training, the Center helps build a more vibrant, inclusive future.

Through this Pride Month and into the future, we invite you to join us and celebrate with flowers that speak louder than words. Give back with gifts that grow more than just joy, and together, let’s continue to fight for and build a world where love always wins.
