We are asking for the community's help. With gas prices skyrocketing this summer it is becoming very costly for our non-profit. We are asking for donations to help cover the costs of mowing this summer. Everything helps! Even just $25 would cover a few hours of mowing.

This time of year can be difficult for our 2 caretakers. Chasing grass had become the norm for the past 7 years. Cutting between rain and waiting on mowers to be fixed. If your looking for something to do this summer that gives back consider joining our Adopt-A-Grave program and pick a spot or 5 to maintain.

This is what can happen when a town sells out to a data center and people stop caring.

A family grave from the civil war era and possibly unmarked graves of indigenous people may be lost to this date center in GA. I can not fathom the despicable people allowing this.

This Muscogee County homeowner also is concerned such a development could disturb her property’s dozens of unmarked graves. β€œI don’t know if these are slaves or Indians,” she said.
