Maynard Hometown Heroes

05/26/2026

Due to weather conditions we made the difficult decision to cancel the Memorial Day parade today. We were disappointed to have to make that decision. We honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We would like to thank the very generous businesses and residents of Maynard for donating to replace many of the American Flags. We would also like to thank the Town of Maynard very much for matching the donations so we could place our first order of American Flags! We are grateful to all to be able to keep our Hometown Heroes banner program look amazing for all to admire and be proud of! 🇺🇸

Thank you to the individuals and businesses that have donated money towards replacing the American Flags that accompany our Maynard Hometown Heroes banners. We are still hoping to raise more money to buy as many flags as we can. We would appreciate your consideration to donate. Thank you! 🇺🇸

Many of our American Flags have have been flying for 5 years for 6 months of each year with the Hometown Heroes banners. We needed to retire a lot of them this past year due to fading and damage. We are asking for your help to replace at least 75 of them. The 46 KIA banners and flags were our first ones up downtown. Those and many others are in need of replacing, as well as about 20 flag poles that have been broken. We now have over 130 total banners hanging throughout our town. Our goal is to raise $4000 or more to get as many flags as we can so they all are waving beautifully. There are towns around us that only hang the banner with no flag. We hope you feel the same way as we do, the American Flags really make the banners stand out honoring our veterans. To donate, please make your check out to: Town of Maynard, with Hometown Heroes fundraiser in the memo - send to: Town of Maynard, c/o Town Administrators Office, 195 Main Street, Maynard, MA 01754. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]. Thank you for your consideration in supporting this project.
