DFW National Cemetery is hosting its annual wreath removal event on January 11, 2025, and volunteers are needed to help. Donating wreaths is also encouraged.
Items to bring for wreath removal include work gloves, broomsticks, water, and gardening wagons to move wreaths to the street for pickup. Trucks and trailers are also needed to haul wreaths to the dumpster on the south side of the administration building. You can donate wreaths for the 2025 holiday season now, and for every wreath donated, an additional wreath will be added. Wreath removal begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025.
Volunteers can start in any section and can return to sections where they laid wreaths. This year, DFW National Cemetery is also hosting its annual food drive to support local food banks. Non-perishable items needed include canned juice, canned meats, cereal, canned pork and beans, canned spaghetti, canned fruits and vegetables, dried beans, macaroni and cheese, pasta, peanut butter, powdered milk, soup, tuna, and rice. Diapers are also needed. Donations will be collected at the front gate. If you didn't get a chance to donate a wreath, now through Jan. 17 Wreaths Across America matches every wreath sponsorship with an additional wreath. It's an opportunity to get ahead for 2025 when 59,000 wreaths will be needed
