Since our founding in 1954 in Waco, Texas, The National Drifters, Incorporated has grown from a small circle of friends with a shared purpose into a nationwide sisterhood of strength, service, and sisterly love. For more than seven decades, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to:

Providing scholarships that open doors of opportunity for youth

Extending care and support to our cherished seniors

Advancing voter education and registration to empower our communities

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the 26th National President of this extraordinary organization. Today, The Drifters proudly represent 38 vibrant chapters across the nation—from Texas to Illinois, from California to New York, and so many communities in between.

Our sisterhood is home to more than 700 talented, compassionate, and dedicated women who live our motto daily:
“Strengthen our families to build better communities.”

We are also proud to collaborate with organizations like The Black Women’s Agenda, keeping us connected and engaged with issues that matter most to our families and our communities.

Thank you for visiting our online home. Whether you are a beloved Drifter sister or a valued member of the communities we serve, we invite you to return often to celebrate our legacy, follow our journey, and join us in our mission of sisterhood and service.

Together, we drift, we serve, and we shine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Linda M. Carter-McClure, President
The National Drifters, Incorporated
