The Norfolk County Grays Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy believes strongly in the five U.D.C. objectives.  These objectives are just more than words to our chapter.  Since our beginning, our chapter members have always undertaken various projects in Chesapeake, Virginia and other areas of Tidewater.

Educational

A scholarship was established several years ago.  It is available
to a woman over thirty years of age, who is a descendent of a
Confederate Veteran,  to further her education.

Patriotic

Our chapter members visit and give items to the
Veterans Hospital, Hampton, Virginia each year.

Memorial

Each Memorial Day we meet, with the Norfolk County Grays
Sons of Confederate Veterans, at the Jackson Greys Monument
and place a wreath.  We proceed to Elmwood Cemetery,
Norfolk, Virginia, where last year the SCV and the UDC placed
over 200 flags on the graves of Confederate Soldiers.

Historical

Members present programs to nursing homes and schools.
We donate the UDC Magazine to six city libraries and schools.
We make donations of books to schools and libraries.

Benevolent

Chapter members donate clothes to Veterans, Salvation Army and the
Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters.  We are always available for
volunteer hours for community and civic organizations.
