This resolution recognizes and celebrates "National Salvation Army Week" from May 12 through May 18, 2025, honoring the humanitarian organization's long-standing commitment to serving communities nationwide. The resolution highlights the Salvation Army's 150-year history of providing critical social services, including disaster relief, food assistance, shelter, rehabilitation programs, and youth development initiatives, while serving approximately 27 million Americans annually. It references President Dwight D. Eisenhower's original 1954 declaration of the week and acknowledges the organization's famous Red Kettle Campaign, first launched in 1891, which raises funds to support those in need. The resolution commends the Salvation Army for its work with vulnerable populations such as homeless individuals, veterans, seniors, human trafficking survivors, and those recovering from addiction, and recognizes the organization as a trusted partner at local, state, and federal levels. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to recognize National Salvation Army Week, commend the organization's efforts, and encourage Americans to support its mission of combating human need with love and compassion.
