Our Vision
To inspire more people to recognize those who gained our nation’s independence and to connect with history themselves through DAR service projects.
Our Mission
To promote historic preservation, education and patriotism.
The DAR is one of the largest women’s lineage based, patriotic nonprofits in the world, with 185,000 members and approximately 3,000 local chapters in the United States and abroad. Since our founding in 1890, close to one million members have carried out our mission. We are an organization both steeped in history and forward-thinking — a vibrant service organization recognized around the world. The women who make up our membership are varied and come from all walks of life, yet we share a common bond of tracing our ancestry back to those who helped gain our nation’s independence. We are committed to honoring our nation’s past by serving our communities today
The Wharton chapter includes members from Covington, Folsom, and Mandeville.
We serve our local community by sponsoring Wreathes Across America, providing scholarship awards, and celebrating veterans.
