Local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter collected food for ‘DAR Day of Service’
TEMPLETON — To honor the anniversary of the Daughters of the American Revolution’s founding on Oct. 11, 1890, El Paso de Robles chapter’s Service to America Committee Chair Romayne Swanson Rose organized a food drive.
Chapter members, along with three Templeton 4-H groups, Templeton Cub Scouts No. 434 and Templeton Boy Scouts No. 434, collected non-perishable food items and monetary contributions for turkeys. With these donations, the Salvation Army will provide Thanksgiving dinners to 30 households of need in Templeton.
DAR Chapter Service to America Committee Chair Swanson Rose said she was excited by the enthusiasm and efforts demonstrated by Templeton youth.
