Local residents can sponsor wreaths for graves of veterans in Hazleton through a project between Hazleton Helps and Wreaths Across America.
Wreaths cost $17 apiece.
To place orders online, Hazleton Helps provided a Facebook link
Through the link, people can select a cemetery, designate a specific grave or name a veteran in whose honor or memory they wish to donate a wreath. The link also allows people to volunteer to help place wreaths on Dec. 19.
“It’s a great way to remember a veteran around the holidays,” Hazleton Helps President Tony Colombo said.
Last year, the groups partnered to decorate some city cemeteries but has widened the list and hopes to sell more wreaths than last year.
Group members also put order forms in several churches.
