Join Us In Honoring our Fallen Veterans on 9/11.
The "kick-off" for our Day of Caring will be on September 11th. For the past 4 years, Day of Caring has honored and served our greatest heroes in our community, our veterans. This year we would like to continue to pay tribute to them and focus on our fallen veterans and first responders. We plan to do this by hosting cemetery cleanups with our municipalities. Teams will be given a map that highlights the plots of fallen veterans and proper tools to clean off headstones and its surrounding area.
We need you!
Help us honor our veterans by washing the headstones and clearing debris around them. Volunteers will be washing the headstones with D/2 Biological Cleaner (Approved by the Conservation Cemetery Corps), raking and picking up trash that may litter the property.
Information on Changes To Traditional Day of Caring.
Our volunteers' safety is our number one priority. We have worked closely with our Public Health Department to ensure our health and safety plan for the Day of Caring 2020 is approved and endorsed. We’ve made some serious changes to make sure all volunteers are safe.
- The "Day of Caring" will actually be a "Month of Caring" offering several days to do the activities to minimize large groupings
- Only micro teams of up to 10 volunteers only
- All projects will be outdoors in large areas*
- Shifts will be staggered - if teams will be working on similar or the same projects, these teams will work in shifts with breaks in between to ensure no contact
- Shifts will be in 2-hour increments instead of 6-8 hours
- Before volunteers can start, each volunteer will be asked health screening questions the day of the event
- Masks will be required and provided on-site. Along with hand sanitizer and wipes
- No large gatherings before or after service - a kickoff video will be sent virtually
- Meals will not be provided, instead, prepackaged snacks will be available
- There will be designated break areas with chairs 6 feet apart, and lines clearly marked for social distancing up to the water coolers (bottled water)
