Crowley is expanding its support for Wreaths Across America in 2025, broadening its logistics support and financial sponsorship to help deliver wreaths to veterans’ gravesites across the U.S. mainland, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
For the first time, the company will handle ocean transportation, trucking and warehousing to move wreaths to cemeteries in St. Thomas and St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Crowley will deliver ‘thousands of wreaths’ to 15 cemeteries in Jacksonville and other locations in Florida, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico. The company will also sponsor wreaths placed at sites in Alaska, Washington, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“Crowley greatly values the opportunity to honor veterans with Wreaths Across America. Hundreds of our employees volunteer each year, and our operations teams take special pride in providing the logistics services to deliver wreaths from Alaska to the Caribbean,” said Phil Shook, senior vice president and general manager of Crowley Land Transportation Services, in a news release. “It’s a privilege to support this mission because we deeply value the immeasurable contributions of our veterans and active-duty service members. Our partnership with Wreaths Across America reflects our values and our commitment to using logistics for the greater good.”
Crowley has been involved with Wreaths Across America since 2019, when it began sponsoring and transporting thousands of wreaths to Puerto Rico to fill a supply chain gap identified by the organization. The company, which provides inland and ocean transportation and logistics services across the U.S. mainland and the Caribbean Basin, also manages Defense Freight Transportation Services.
