Mecklenburg Chapter has established several philanthropic projects in the region.  One such relationship has been established with the Charlotte Museum of History for the preservation of the Hezekiah Alexander homesite. Mecklenburg Chapter was instrumental in the rescue and restoration of the historic structure in 1949.

We also generously support the Salisbury Veterans Administration Hospital and two of the DAR schools. Tamassee DAR School and Crossnore School provide a safe, healing environment for disadvantaged children coming from broken homes and families in crisis.  Within this environment, each child is urged to develop his or her own special abilities to their fullest potential.  A favorite project of the chapter each year is presenting holiday packages to six Tamassee students.

Our chapter also proudly presents Good Citizens awards to outstanding local high school students. We present awards for outstanding achievements in ROTC to local high school and college seniors as well.
