Three Opportunities to Volunteer: Display Prep, Setup, & Lowering
Display Preparations
Join Us for a Fun and Meaningful Volunteer Experience!
Be part of something truly special as we prepare for the Avenue of Flags—one of the largest displays of burial flags in the country! Each year, this breathtaking tribute honors our veterans, and we need helping hands to make it happen.
We’re looking for friendly, community-minded volunteers who don’t mind getting a little dirty, sharing some laughs, and making a difference. Grab your gloves and a long screwdriver, and team up with an incredible group to uncover the buried flagpole holes needed for this powerful display.
This is more than just setting up flags—it’s a chance to give back, connect with others, and honor those who have served. Come ready to have fun, enjoy good company, and be part of a truly inspiring tradition!
