Chakchiuma Chapter DAR Partners with North Greenwood Baptist Church for Wreaths Across America
The Chakchiuma Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has teamed up with North Greenwood Baptist Church to sell Christmas wreaths for the graves of deceased veterans in advance of National Wreaths Across America Day.
The community is invited to purchase wreaths to honor local veterans laid to rest in Greenwood-area cemeteries. Each wreath costs $17, and the deadline to purchase is December 1, 2025.
“The Chakchiuma Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and North Greenwood Baptist Church are working hard to ensure that all veterans laid to rest in the Greenwood-area cemeteries are honored this December as part of National Wreaths Across America Day,” said Pat Crick, Wreaths Across America chair for the DAR chapter.
Wreaths may be purchased:
In person at the North Greenwood Baptist Church office (615 Grand Blvd.)
By phone at 662-453-2801
Through any Chakchiuma Chapter DAR member
Checks should be made payable to Wreaths Across America (or WAA). All wreaths will be delivered to North Greenwood Baptist Church for distribution.
A dedication ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 13, 2025—National Wreaths Across America Day—at the church's Recreation Outreach Center. Following the dedication, families may pick up their wreaths and place them on the graves of loved ones or friends who served our nation.
“Every wreath sold is a meaningful gift from a grateful American who knows what it means to serve and sacrifice for the freedom we all enjoy,” Crick added. “We are so grateful to the good people of this wonderful community for participation in our mission—to ‘Remember, Honor and Teach.’”
The Chakchiuma Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, is dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism in the Greenwood community. For more information about the chapter or upcoming America 250 events, visit ChakchiumaDAR.org.
