text:
A Dorcas society is a local group of people, usually based in a church, with a mission of providing clothing to the poor. Dorcas societies are named after Dorcas, a person described in the Acts of the Apostles (9:36). Dorcas societies were at their height in the 1800s, but there are still Dorcas societies around the world, providing clothing and other physical needs. One Dorcas society was founded in Douglas, Isle of Man, in December 1834 as part of the community's thanksgiving for being spared
