DONATIONS

The Milestone Community Cemetery Committee is asking for people to consider donating to help with completing three projects:
1. Restoration of memorials, levelling low areas, new bases, repairs and landscaping;
2. Producing a Directory with a map and row markers enabling the location of grave sites; and
3. Installation of a plaque to honour the unmarked and our fallen soldiers.
If all funding is obtained through grants and donations, the committee hopes to complete the remaining repairs in 2024.
If you are able to donate to help achieve our goals, please make donations payable to:
