The North Sewickley Township Police Department is reaching out with a sincere and heartfelt request for help from our community.

Located at 944 Brighton Road, Ellwood City, PA 16117, Locust Grove Cemetery was once a beautiful and peaceful resting place for many loved ones in our area. Unfortunately, due to limited funding and lack of ongoing maintenance resources, the cemetery has become severely overgrown and difficult to properly care for.

Many gravesites belonging to parents, grandparents, veterans, friends, and family members are now in desperate need of cleanup, restoration, and maintenance. Families visiting their loved ones are often saddened by the current condition of the grounds.

We are asking our community to come together to help preserve the dignity and beauty of this historic cemetery. Whether through volunteering your time, donating equipment or supplies, providing financial assistance, or simply sharing this post, every contribution can make a meaningful difference.

If you know of individuals, organizations, churches, local businesses, landscapers, or volunteers willing to assist, please reach out. Together, we can restore Locust Grove Cemetery and ensure those laid to rest there are honored with the respect and care they deserve.

On behalf of the North Sewickley Township Police Department, we thank you for your compassion, support, and willingness to help our community preserve this important place of remembrance.

Please share this post to help spread the word.
