We understand everyone’s schedule varies, and you’re not obligated to commit to the entire three hours. Volunteers are welcome to join at their convenience and leave as necessary.
These workdays are carefully tailored to the specific needs of each cemetery and are scheduled throughout late summer and fall. Our tasks will encompass a wide range of activities, including revitalizing the landscape, weed control, landscaping projects, border restoration, plot reinstatement, and other crucial maintenance tasks.
No previous experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to lend a hand. Together, we can honor the memories of those who came before us and create a peaceful environment for visitors. Don’t miss out on this rewarding opportunity to contribute to our community.
