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
            (3) encourages all Americans to join in acts of service and 
        generosity, supporting the Salvation Army's goal to combat 
        human need with love and compassion, wherever it persists.
