Would you like to learn how to Clean Headstones?

Posted: March 6, 2025

We invite you to participate in a meaningful mission to honor our veterans by helping restore and preserve their final resting places. The new program, is called 4th Sunday for Vets. This initiative will focus on our five cemeteries. Depending on the number of volunteers and the amount of work needed at each cemetery. On the 4th Sunday of each month - 9:00am-12:00pm (April-November - Weather Permitting). We will gather for a work party dedicated to cleaning and repairing the headstones of our military veterans. We will remain in each Cemetery until every veteran's headstone is restored to the best of our ability. The duration may vary - taking a few weekends, or more based on many factors. Once the work at at each Cemetery is complete, we will move on to next Cemetery. Currently, we have finished Village Cemetery and are working in Center Cemetery.

What a wonderful time to take care of all Veterans' graves! Whether you can volunteer for just one day or multiple sessions, your efforts will make a lasting impact for our community. Join us as we work together to ensure that these honored Veterans rest in well-maintained and dignified surroundings.
