This year’s Wreaths Across America will take place Saturday, Dec. 17, at six county cemeteries.

The program enables volunteers to honor deceased veterans by laying wreaths at each veteran’s grave in designated cemeteries. The wreaths for the project come from donations of $15 per wreath, which are made in Maine and sent to the volunteer coordinators.

County residents can donate by logging onto wreathsacrossamerica.org, scrolling down to “Where We Remember,” click on “Find a specific location” and type in the name of your cemetery of choice. Single wreaths can be donated with an option to donate multiple.
