Event overview

We’re excited to join forces with the City of Jersey City's Division of Veterans Affairs and Department of Health and Human Services to beautify and expand access to the Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery.

Sadly neglected and abandoned in early 2008, the Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery is now being saved and preserved by the dedicated efforts of a newly formed volunteer Board of Trustees, a hard-working group of volunteers, and a supportive Community who are committed to the restoration of the historic cemetery grounds, caretaker house, and historic monuments.

Come ready to get your hands dirty and serve alongside like-minded folks in the Jersey City community for this amazing Day of Service!

Lunch will be provided after the workday.
