Century Correctional Brightens The Day At Century Care
June 8, 2012
Staff from Century Correctional Institution delivered sunflowers grown at the prison facility to the residents at Century Care Center.
“It was so kind of them to bring summertime to Century Care Center,” Century Care Center Activities Director Mae Hildreth said. “Sunflowers have always reminded me of a smiling face. They can cheer up the gloomiest of days, just by looking at them.”

We stoped by century city hall and jay city hall with a few for those hard working ladys. All together it was around 600 sunflowers..Thanks for the kind words..
How awesome! That was a very thoughtful thing for them to do to bring sunshine in to these people confined, in the autumn/winter of their lives. Most people don’t realize how simple things like this can make a HUGE difference in the morale of these precious people. And the good thing is~ it’s not for just a day or two and they get thrown out…these flowers will last a couple of weeks at the least….so they can enjoy them for a long time. “Sunshine on a stick”~can’t imagine ANYONE who would not like and appreciate these flowers. God bless those who provided them for the residents to enjoy!!!
What an inspiring story. I am sure it blessed and brought a smile to all involved.
Great idea, Century C.I. Those stalks of sunshine sure brightened up the room, and put smiles on so many faces. Keep up the good work!
What a nice thing to do. I love sunflowers and they really do brighten up your surroundings.
They also delivered to The Terrace in Jay and the Community Center in Jay. It really did brighten up the day for many residents. Thanks to all involved for taking time to make a few people a little happier yesterday.
How wonderful! The sunflowers look like boxes of sunshine. This was such a sweet and beautiful thing for CCI to do. Thank you so much.
So many times I read in this paper all the good things CCI does for the community.
Kudos to the employees of CCI. And thank you from the community.
