Support Newark Union Church & Cemetery and its mission of serving the Brandywine Hundred community in Delaware. The entire Newark Union Church & Cemetery is a cherished Brandywine Hundred historic site and hallowed burial ground.
This year, we need your help to reach our goal of $2000 for our Spring landscaping projects to help beautify the Newark Union Church & Cemetery. We will be purchasing plants for the gardens around the Church & the Cemetery. We will be installing new gardens along the newly repaired stone walls of the Cemetery. Those gardens and the new Informational Signs will need Belgium block borders to compliment the other gardens around the site. We need to purchase mulch for all the gardens and around the trees and bushes. And there is always memorial stone cleaning to do. The cleaning products will need to be purchased.
Your donation towards these projects will help enhance the Newark Union Church & Cemetery site.
We are so grateful to everyone who has been supporting us with encouragement and their personal resources. We look forward to making progress in our site beautification goals with your continued support.
