Daughters of the American Revolution

DAR is a 125-year-old organization and a service organization dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, patriotism and honoring the Patriots of the Revolution War. Members provide millions of community service around the world. Each year DAR awards multiple scholarships to students. Through our Service to America, members volunteer with local communities, we volunteer with veterans at local VA Hospital, make care packages for troops stationed overseas, we work with the homeless shelters, among many other service activities.

“This is a new project we are starting for the veterans in VA hospitals. We are making Lap Cushions for patients so they have something that will hold a book, cell phone, iPad or Kindle making it easier on them. I am a manufacturer and designed this item, I am donating the fabric. Patterns and cut fabric is being handed out to our members to sew then we will have a team to stuff the lap pillows.” explained C. Denise Peters.
