DONATE OR VOLUNTEER TO PLACE A WREATH AT HOUSTON NATIONAL CEMETERY
A tradition started almost three decades ago in Harrington, Maine, Wreaths Across America is now also a tradition in Houston and for the Kiwanis of Cypress club. This year Kiwanis of Cypress hopes to donate 20 wreaths for the Houston National Cemetery as well as to volunteer at the December 14, 2024 wreath-laying ceremony.
Experienced volunteers note that parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Rather than parking on site, volunteers may also park at Greenspoint Mall and take a free shuttle to the cemetery. Shuttle service begins at 7:30 AM.
This rain or shine event typically draws more than 17,000 volunteers, including motorcyclists who escort the wreath trucks on the last leg of their week-long journey from Maine.
As a volunteer, you will join tens of thousands across the nation in placing wreaths on the markers of our fallen heroes. As you place each wreath, you will “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service, and sacrifice of each veteran is never forgotten. We invite families and volunteers of all ages to come and share in this patriotic experience!
You can play an important role as part in the mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve and their families, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. To donate toward the Kiwanis goal of 20 wreaths, please contribute via Zelle to kiwanis.cypresstx@yahoo.com. The cost of one wreath donation is $17, though donations of any amount are welcome.
