WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan recognized Amber Morgan of Nashua as February’s Granite Stater of the Month. Through her flower shop, Fortin Gage Flowers, Amber offers special monthly floral arrangements and donates the proceeds to a local community group. In the two years that Amber has owned her flower shop, she has donated numerous bouquets and arrangements to charity events and local organizations across New Hampshire.
Amber, an active member of the Nashua community, launched the Flowers for Good Campaign this year, highlighting different local organizations each month with a unique floral arrangement to spread awareness of groups in the area that are helping Granite Staters. Proceeds from the sale of these bouquets go directly to the organization, and each bouquet comes with an information card for the recipient to learn more about the group.
Amber’s passion for uplifting local organizations is a wonderful example of the Granite State spirit of going the extra mile to support one’s community and is why Senator Hassan named her February’s Granite Stater of the Month.
Senator Hassan launched the “Granite Stater of the Month” initiative in 2017 to recognize outstanding New Hampshire citizens who go above and beyond to help their neighbors and make their communities stronger.
