DAR Day of Service is Friday

Ann Crooker St. Clair Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will be participating in the National DAR Day of Service. Members coast to coast will complete special service projects within their local communities as they unite to demonstrate the combined impact of the DAR mission. DAR was founded on the ideals of service and members have been dedicated to giving back to their communities through volunteer work ever since.

This year, the Ann Crooker St. Clair chapter has planned a “Fill the Wagon” Food Drive to benefit the Shumway Food Pantry. The event will be held Friday, October 12 from 2-6 pm. They will be located in the parking lot on the corner of W. Fayette and Rinehart, east across from First Baptist Church, 213 W. Fayette, Effingham. They will be accepting non-perishable food items as well as toiletries, pet & baby items and gently used clothing.

There will be a table set up with information about the Shumway Food Pantry and DAR. The chapter will be selling Effingham County Cemetery listing books and History Books also. The proceeds will go to the chapter treasury to fund upcoming Veteran projects.
