What We Do

New Jersey Daughters are descendants of ordinary women and men who achieved extraordinary things, share a common bond of ancestry, and are proud of their heritage and the role of their ancestors, who risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in establishing our great country. We honor their sacrifices through the volunteer work of our members.

Patriotism

DAR members support American veterans and active-duty military personnel by providing many hours of volunteer service and financial support, along with award-winning handmade quilts. Care packages, phone cards, letters, and cards are sent to servicewomen and servicemen abroad in support of Project Patriot.
