“My vote goes to Freytag’s this year because I witnessed firsthand what they do for community. Freytag’s donates flowers to Hospice Austin’s Christopher House, where my Dad ended up in his final days. To walk in and see a special bouquet each day in my Dad’s room was so meaningful and comforting. What a beautiful thing Freytag’s does donating to such an incredible cause.” Vivian Holmes
