DBE is a national 501(c)(3) philanthropic organization founded in 1909. We support four DBE established District Homes as well as many other 501 (c)(3) nonprofits.
Here is Delaware we support Victoria Home Cares dedicated to helloing seniors in our region.
We hold fundraisers several times a year such as volunteering at local running races, bake sales and selling items at flea markets.
We also share social events together such as a hayride and bonfire for Guy Fawkes, a trip to the movies to watch Downton Abbey, trips to tea rooms and local gardens.
At the end of each monthly meeting we have social time where we catch up and chat over a cup of tea or a glass of wine and enjoy mostly English goodies.
DBE members in Maid Marian and Anne Hathaway chapters meet up twice a year at our Annual Council Meeting in April and a Christmas Luncheon in December. We are also trying to arrange a summertime get-together this year.
DBE members are a diverse set of dynamic women of all ages with the common bond of British or Commonwealth heritage or ancestry or the wives or partners of persons of proven British Commonwealth birth or ancestry.
Our mission is to bring women together in friendship for charitable, cultural and educational purposes.
The National Motto "Not Ourselves but the Cause" promises that the DBE will never forget our elderly residents at our four district homes throughout the USA that depend on us.
