Our Community Partnerships & Giving Back: 2025
As a proud local florist in Valparaiso, we believe flowers do more than brighten a room, they strengthen connections, lift spirits, and help build a more vibrant community. In 2025, we had the privilege of partnering with several incredible local organizations that make Valparaiso and the surrounding Porter County area a better place to live, grow, and celebrate.
Here’s a look at the meaningful groups we supported through floral donations, event partnerships, fundraising collaborations, and in-kind contributions.
Porter County Parks & Recreation

Our team loves supporting the park system that brings families, nature lovers, and visitors together all year long and for their pop-up German Biergarten at Sunset Hill Farm County Park. We’re honored to help keep Porter County Parks blooming.
Valpo Parks Foundation
Website: valpoparksfoundation.org
The Valpo Parks Foundation’s mission to enhance parks, recreation, and trails mirrors our own belief that beautiful spaces strengthen communities. We were thrilled to support their Veteran's Day Memorial Service with a fresh floral wreath on November 8, 2025.
Porter County Animal Shelter

Alongside our regular partnerships, one of the most heartfelt initiatives this Holiday Season was supporting the Porter County Animal Shelter.
In-Store Donation Drive
We hosted an in-store collection for pet supplies: treats and cleaning items, and our customers continue to show up in such a big way. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our shop filled with generosity that directly improves the lives of local animals.
The Giving Moose Arrangement
This special holiday arrangement is more than adorable, it gives back. For every Giving Moose sold, we donate $15 to the shelter to help with medical care, food, enrichment supplies, and adoption programming. We’re so grateful to everyone supporting it.
Porter County Fair's Queen Pageant
Website: portercountyfair.com
Every year we partner with the Porter County Fair's Queen Pageant and we LOVE it. It’s a joy to help celebrate the incredible young women who represent our community with grace and leadership.
TCA All-Star Cheer

Supporting TCA Cheer means encouraging athleticism, teamwork, and confidence in local youth, all things we’re proud to stand behind. Our contribution helped support the competitive teams and program development throughout the season.
Valparaiso High School Graduation
Each year, we are honored to donate a memorial arrangement for the Valparaiso High School Graduation & Commencement Ceremony. This floral tribute serves as a meaningful reminder of the students, alumni, and community members who are remembered during this milestone event.
It’s a simple but heartfelt way for us to support Valpo’s families, celebrate the success of graduating seniors, and contribute to a tradition that brings the entire community together.
Why These Partnerships Matter
Community is at the heart of everything we do. As a small, locally owned flower shop offering flower delivery throughout Valparaiso, we’re committed to:
- Supporting youth, parks, and recreation
- Enhancing local events with high-quality, locally designed florals
- Helping care for animals in our community
- Giving back through product-driven donations and in-store initiatives
- Strengthening the organizations that strengthen Valparaiso
Every time you shop with us, you’re helping make these efforts possible.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited to continue these partnerships and introduce new giving initiatives in the coming year. Thank you for choosing our shop for your flowers, gifts, and local delivery needs. Together, we’re growing something meaningful and beautiful across Valparaiso and Porter County. Email us at hello@schultzfloral.com if you have an initiative to pitch.
