This resolution recognizes March 2025 as American Red Cross Month, honoring the longstanding humanitarian tradition of the organization that dates back to its founding by Clara Barton over 140 years ago and the annual presidential proclamation tradition started by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943. The resolution highlights the American Red Cross's critical humanitarian work, including providing disaster relief, delivering shelter and food during emergencies, supporting blood donations for hospitals, assisting service members and veterans, providing first aid and life-saving skills training, delivering international aid, and helping reconnect families separated by global crises. By acknowledging the selfless volunteers, blood and platelet donors, and supporters who consistently demonstrate compassion and commitment to alleviating human suffering, the resolution aims to celebrate the organization's ongoing mission and encourage continued support for its humanitarian efforts. The Arkansas House of Representatives specifically resolves to recognize March 2025 as American Red Cross Month and affirm support for the organization's humanitarian mission.
