VOLUNTEER POSITION

Flag Tote Filler

Date TBD

What is a Flag Tote Filler?

The Flag Tote Fillers are our team of volunteers that ensure the appropriate number of flag bundles are placed in each tote bag for Flag Placement volunteers to use. Please note that the flags are already bundled before the event.

Things to consider before volunteering:

  • This is a sit/stand position meaning it’s perfect for those who are unable to stand for long periods of time.
  • Each bag of flags will weigh about 20 pounds once full, if you don’t think you’ll be able to lift and organize for the duration of your shift, this may not be the best volunteer position for you.

HELPFUL TIPS

REMEMBER,
we’ll be out rain or shine! Dress for the weather!

YOU WILL RECEIVE SOME GUIDANCE
prior to other volunteers arriving, so don’t be nervous!

Cemetery Rules

2.  No leaning on, sitting on, or resting body or limbs on headstones or monuments.

3.  Do not pick up any flowers or flags (unless the flag has fallen to the ground).

4.  Do not touch any of the coins that were placed on top of the headstones or around the headstone.

5.  No advertising of any kind while on the cemetery grounds. This includes company apparel.

6.  Do NOT disrupt visitors at graves. You may ask to place the flag for them. However, if they deny the request, kindly give them a flag so that they can place it themselves.
