SCRANTON -- There was a whole lot of green going on inside Goodwill Industries in Scranton on Saturday.

Volunteers were helping make some of the more than 4,000 boutonnieres and corsages for the Shamrock Heart Foundation.

The charity sends the flowers to hospitals and nursing homes in Lackawanna County along with a green greeting card.

"My grandmother received one of these flowers. She was in a nursing home way back when and I thought it was marvelous and I wanted to give back and make somebody smile like she did," said Marie Burda, volunteer.

Those boutonnieres and corsages will be delivered on Tuesday in Lackawanna County.
