Friends of Green Lawn Cemetery: Preserving History, Honoring Legacy, and Inspiring Community Action

Green Lawn Cemetery stands as a testament to history, a sacred ground where stories of triumph, resilience, and legacy are etched in stone. But the preservation of this invaluable cultural and historical treasure is far from self-sustaining. The Friends of Green Lawn Cemetery, a dedicated group of volunteers, have taken on the noble task of ensuring this space remains a place of reverence, reflection, and remembrance. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in this vital mission.

The Heart of the Mission: Volunteer-Driven Preservation

Unlike large, commercially managed cemeteries, the upkeep of Green Lawn Cemetery relies solely on the selfless efforts of volunteers who devote their time, energy, and resources to restoring and maintaining this hallowed ground. They are teachers, veterans, families, and community members bound by a shared commitment to preserve the dignity of those interred here and the cultural heritage the cemetery represents.

From cutting overgrown grass to trimming weeds, from cleaning tombstones to planting vibrant flowers at the entrance, their work is ceaseless, their dedication unparalleled. Yet, their efforts are not without cost. Essential materials and equipment are needed to sustain these preservation efforts, and this is where your generosity can make a profound impact.

Why Your Contribution Matters

Every dollar raised this Giving Tuesday will directly support the tangible needs of the volunteers who ensure the cemetery remains a source of pride and history for generations to come. Your donation will help us:

Fuel the Lawn Mowers: Gas is critical to keeping the grounds maintained and free from overgrowth.
Equip the Volunteers: Weed Wacker strings, shovels, and other tools are necessary for detailed and efficient upkeep.
Preserve the Monuments: Solutions to clean tombstones help protect and restore these markers of history, ensuring names and stories remain visible for future generations.
Enhance the Beauty: Dirt and water for flowers at the entrance create a welcoming and respectful environment.
Provide Comfort for Volunteers: On hot days, water is essential for volunteers’ health and well-being, and the addition of a portable restroom would make workdays more accommodating and efficient.

These are not luxuries; they are necessities. They are the resources that empower the Friends of Green Lawn to continue their mission.
