Veteran Recruitment

At Flowers, our legacy is built on 100+ years of hard work by thousands of team members. We honor and preserve their legacy by bringing excellence to everything we do.

We want to make it as easy as possible for transitioning service members to feel at home at Flowers. Our employee resource group, SERVE, focuses on supporting military veterans, active reservists, and their allies in the workplace – including many of the 400+ veterans who currently work for our company.

SERVE - Skilled Employees Representing Veterans Experiences

We offer competitive pay and valuable benefits, including:

  • 401(k) and retirement contribution
  • Robust healthcare benefits
  • Tax-free health care accounts
  • Ongoing skills and leadership training
  • And more!

Our veteran-focused hiring initiatives include targeted outreach, participation in military job fairs, and partnership with veteran organizations and programs, like our DoW SkillBridge Program.

Additionally, Flowers is a long-time champion of U.S. service members and veterans. Our charitable giving and volunteer efforts contribute to programs that assist veterans and their families in our local communities.

And since 2018, our Wonder® brand has partnered with the United Service Organizations (USO) to help provide a variety of programs that keep service members and their families connected throughout the military journey. By year-end 2026, Wonder® will have donated $3.35 million to the organization since 2018.*

“After serving in the military, you learn the value of unity and purpose. In the workplace, feeling supported and seen isn’t just nice, it’s necessary. The goal of our veteran-focused employee resource group [SERVE] is to remind us that our experiences matter and that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.”
