Poppy’s Crew began in memory of our beloved Poppy, a U.S. Navy veteran. What started as a family tribute has grown into a community effort to bring Wreaths Across America to Rehoboth Village Cemetery.
Our work is simple but meaningful. We raise funds to sponsor remembrance wreaths, then bring volunteers together to place them on the graves of veterans resting in the cemetery. As each wreath is placed, we say the veteran’s name aloud, helping keep their memory and story alive.
Every $17 contribution sponsors one wreath to be placed at a veteran’s gravesite.
Through this tradition, we carry out the mission of Wreaths Across America: Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom.
With less than two months until National Wreaths Across America Day on December 19, we have fewer than 30 days left to gather this year’s wreath sponsorships. We had hoped to also honor all Revolutionary War soldiers resting throughout Rehoboth, but current sponsorships do not yet allow us to expand. Every sponsorship brings us closer to honoring all the veterans resting at Rehoboth Village Cemetery.
You can help by sponsoring a wreath, attending our Bingo fundraiser, or sharing our
mission with others.
Sponsor a wreath at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/NH0043P . All wreaths sponsored through Poppy’s Crew before November 10 are automatically entered into our Yeti raffle.
Join us for Bingo on Tuesday, November 10, at Campfire Tavern in Rehoboth. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the first game begins at 7 p.m. Space is limited. Email waapoppyscrew@gmail.com to reserve your seat.
The entire community is invited to our ceremony and wreath laying on December 19, 2026, at noon at Rehoboth Village Cemetery. Join us as we place wreaths, speak their names, and remember the people behind the headstones.
