RememberAVet ~ Wreath Project
If you have any questions regarding how you can help in the fundraising process or the project in general, please email us at WreathProject@yahoo.com.
Our mission is to secure donations to purchase boughs, ensuring that each grave site at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery is recognized and honored during the holiday season.
We are also concentrating on raising awareness of this project and encouraging other civic groups, organizations and individuals to join in this effort each year, for this and other cemeteries.

Event goes on, rain or shine!
Following the bough placement, volunteers are needed to help transfer the cardboard to dumpsters on-site. All the cardboard is stacked near the road and volunteers and pickups are needed to haul to dumpsters. Hauling can start once the crowd thins out and the roads are clearing. Cemetery staff there will be point of contact if you have any questions.
Bough Pick Up for Disposal On-site: Date TBA - beginning at 7:30am
Volunteers may bring a pole or dowel to work in pairs and string boughs on them for easy pick up. Boughs are hauled out to the curb and picked up by garbage trucks. Volunteers of all ages are welcome and this usually takes 90 minutes or so; no sign-up required, just show up!
