 RESOLUTION

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

Whereas, since its founding in 1865, the Salvation Army has been dedicated to 
 serving individuals and families in need, without discrimination;
Whereas, for more than 150 years, the Salvation Army has provided essential 
 social services, including disaster relief, food assistance, shelter, 
 rehabilitation programs, and youth development initiatives in local 
 communities across the United States;
Whereas President Dwight D. Eisenhower first declared ``National Salvation Army 
 Week'' in 1954, recognizing the organization's unwavering commitment to 
 serving communities nationwide;
Whereas the Salvation Army serves more than 27,000,000 Americans annually, 
 offering compassion, hope, and support to the most vulnerable 
 populations, including individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, 
 seniors, human trafficking survivors, and those recovering from 
 addiction;
Whereas the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign, first launched in 1891, has 
 become one of the most recognizable and impactful annual charitable 
 traditions, raising funds to support millions in need each year;
Whereas the Salvation Army continues to be a trusted partner at the local, 
 State, and Federal levels, providing critical services that address 
 poverty, hunger, and emergency assistance in times of crisis;
Whereas, across the Nation, the Salvation Army operates shelters, food pantries, 
 job training programs, and emergency disaster relief efforts that 
 strengthen communities and improve lives; and
Whereas volunteers, donors, and officers of the Salvation Army exemplify the 
 spirit of service, working tirelessly to provide relief and opportunity 
 for those in need: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) recognizes and celebrates ``National Salvation Army 
 Week'';

    (2) commends the Salvation Army for its historic and 
 ongoing efforts to uplift and serve individuals and families 
 across the country; and

 generosity, supporting the Salvation Army's goal to combat 
 human need with love and compassion, wherever it persists.
