Recognizing and celebrating "National Salvation Army Week" on May 12 through May 18, 2025.

This House Resolution seeks to recognize and celebrate "National Salvation Army Week" from May 12 through May 18, 2025. It highlights the Salvation Army's long-standing dedication since 1865 to serving individuals and families in need without discrimination, providing essential social services for over 150 years. The resolution commends the organization for its unwavering commitment, first recognized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954, to offering compassion, hope, and support to over 27 million Americans annually. These services include disaster relief, food assistance, shelter, rehabilitation, and youth development, benefiting vulnerable populations such as the homeless, veterans, seniors, and human trafficking survivors. Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the impact of the Red Kettle Campaign and the Salvation Army's role as a trusted partner at all government levels, operating shelters, food pantries, and job training programs. It ultimately encourages all Americans to join in acts of service and generosity to support the Salvation Army's goal of combating human need with love and compassion.
