With a great deal of gratitude and pride, I am privileged to announce that DAR members have officially sewn and donated more than 100,000 masks for those in need during the Coronavirus pandemic! This DAR Service to America From Home initiative began less than a month ago and was enthusiastically embraced by Daughters across the country. More than 700 chapters are participating and have collectively spent more than 50,000 volunteer hours working on this amazing grassroots effort.
Many of our members learned that hospitals and medical facilities needed masks and jumped in to assist immediately. We were so inspired by their service that we began the official “Service to America From Home” initiative, and even more members stepped forward to help. Daughters have been self-reporting the number of masks they have been making and donating at our DAR Mask Count, and as of today, April 16, DAR members have reported making 107,414 masks!
