As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, there's a unique opportunity to be part of something truly meaningful.

Wreaths Across America is proud to partner with America250—the national, nonpartisan effort to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Through the America Gives initiative, we're helping support what aims to be the largest year of service in American history.

And here's where you can be part of it.

Every hour you give to Wreaths Across America can be counted toward this historic national effort—whether you're volunteering at events, helping in our community, or supporting their mission to REMEMBERthe fallen, HONOR those who serve, and TEACH the next generation the value of freedom.

It's easy to make your impact count:

  • Visit: America250 – America Gives
  • Click "add my organization's hours"
  • Submit your time with Wreaths Across America
  • Your hours will be added to the national total!

Every hour you give becomes part of something bigger—a nationwide effort to honor and remember our veterans.

You can also support this mission in another meaningful way:

  • Sponsor a wreath to honor a local veteran at Ft. Bayard National Cemetery
  • Register as a volunteer and get involved on National Wreaths Across America Day, December 19, 2026 at 10:00 am (MST) (Wreath Placement 9:30 am )

Thank you for being part of something that matters—not just in our community, but across the nation.

With gratitude,
