The Old Three Notch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is proud to announce the relaunch of its Freedom Hydrants initiative.
This innovative community program invites local businesses, individuals and organizations to sponsor the painting of fire hydrants throughout the community with patriotic motifs, transforming ordinary objects into symbols of national pride and local unity.
Each sponsored fire hydrant will be artfully painted in a red, white and blue design that captures the spirit of American heritage and freedom. The project is designed to not only beautify the community, but also serve as a daily reminder of the values and sacrifices that built our nation.
“We wanted to find a unique way to celebrate our community’s connection to American history and honor the sacrifices of those who have served our country,” said Carol Ann Mullins, Chapter Regent of Old Three Notch DAR. “The Freedom Hydrants program allows local sponsors to become part of that legacy and contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhood.”
Each sponsor has the opportunity to select a fire hydrant location and can ensure that the hydrant becomes a patriotic symbol for everyone who passes by.
Local businesses, organizations and individuals interested in sponsoring a Freedom Hydrant can contact Barbara Clark at 251-591-6550 or Carol Ann Mullins (912-312-6628) of the Old Three Notch DAR for more information. Forms and wire transfers can be dropped off at Bass Real. Real Estate Agency, 101 Northside Office Pk, Andalusia.
This project is about more than just painting fire hydrants. “It’s about bringing our community together, honoring our history and fostering a sense of pride in our neighborhood.”
The Old Three Notch Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and supporting education in the community. The chapter regularly participates in community service projects and educational programs that highlight the rich heritage of the United States.
