We are happy that you are willing to help with Wreaths Across America at New Freedom Cemetery. Please do not forget to register to volunteer! That way you will get all updates about the cemetery itself.
Here are some things to remember about the event:
• Please plan to attend the brief but meaningful VFW Ceremony which starts promptly at 10:30a.m. at the “New Freedom Veterans Park” at 16700 Veterans Drive, New Freedom, PA (just off Campbell Road). After the ceremony, the volunteers and ceremony coordinators will proceed to the cemeteries to lay wreaths. If you don’t attend the ceremony and are waiting at the cemetery, please do NOT start laying wreaths. The Location Coordinator will arrive right after the ceremony ends at the Veterans’ Park.
• Everyone of all ages and backgrounds is welcome.
• Please help ensure that all participants get the opportunity to place a wreath.
• Please follow the location coordinators instructions on where to place wreaths, as well as "how" they should be placed.
• We especially appreciate volunteers willing to help clean-up. Please check in with the location coordinator if you are interested in helping with the clean-up.
The most important thing to remember is to have a wonderful experience participating in the ceremony and thank you so much for help Wreaths achieve our mission to remember, honor and teach.
