BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — A New Leaf is spreading holiday cheer one poinsettia at a time.
If you're looking for some holiday cheer, you're in luck! You can get it delivered straight to your door. That's the mission of A New Leaf, serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.
"This is our annual holiday poinsettia sales,” Lindsey Stewart, manager of philanthropic resources, said. “So, every year A New Leaf clients and our workforce development department are working hard. We do this huge sale."
The poinsettias receive extra care, with each detail made perfect by the hands of a client. Max Meier said choosing the wrapping paper is one of the many tasks he enjoys.

“It’s my favorite time of year,” Meier said.
The excitement is evident at A New Leaf as poinsettias are prepped. After each one is complete, they are loaded on a van and ready for delivery.
2 News tagged along for the ride to see poinsettias hand-delivered. Each delivery not only brings a smile but also supports clients by providing job training, life skills, and residential services.
“They love going and talking to the community members and delivering the plants -- and bringing holiday cheer around the community,” Stewart said.
