1877 Dorcas Society Donations (Newfoundland) Article posted: September 07, 2001 Contributed by: Sue O'Neill sue-nfroots@sympatico.ca The Dorcas Society was a charitable organization founded by Sarah Ward (wife of Rev. Daniel S. Ward) in 1824. The aim of the Dorcas Society was to provide clothing for the poor. Members canvassed businesses, firms and also relied on volunteer donations to raise money.
