03/25 - American Red Cross MonthAmerican Red Cross Month, 2025
A Proclamation
This March, we celebrate American Red Cross Month by recognizing the compassionate acts of people in
Kalispell and by renewing our commitment to lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need. Since Clara Barton
founded the American Red Cross more than 140 years ago, generation after generation has stepped up to deliver
relief and care across our country and around the world, bringing out the best of humanity in times of crisis.
Advancing this noble mission, the volunteers, blood donors and supporters who now give back through the
Kalispell Red Cross remain unwavering in their commitment to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of
today's emergencies.
Their voluntary and generous contributions shine a beacon of hope in people's darkest hours - whether it's
delivering shelter, food and comfort during disasters; providing critical blood donations for hospital patients;
supporting service members, veterans and their families; saving lives with first aid, CPR, AED and other skills; or
delivering international aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by global crises.
This work to uplift our community is truly made possible by those who selflessly answer the call to help, whenever
and wherever it's needed. We hereby recognize this month of March in honor of their remarkable service, and we
ask everyone to join in their commitment to care for one another.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Council President of Kalispell, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of
Kalispell and Montana do hereby proclaim March 2025 as Red Cross Month. I encourage all citizens of Kalispell
and Flathead County to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand on this 17th day of March, in the year two thousand
twenty-five, Kalispell, ntana.
