Description

The Day of Caring Cemetery Clean-Up brings volunteers together to honor those who came before us. Community members, families, civic groups, and local businesses work side by side to restore and protect a sacred public space.  

During this event, volunteers:   • Remove litter and debris • Trim overgrown grass and brush • Refresh mulch and planting beds • Document damaged monuments for follow-up repair  

This effort improves safety, preserves history, and strengthens community pride. It also teaches respect for legacy, service, and stewardship.   Participants receive a brief safety orientation and preservation guidance before work begins. All tools and cleaning supplies are provided. Volunteers are encouraged to wear work gloves, sturdy shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing.
