100 years, responding to disasters and assisting members of the
military, teaching lifesaving skills, and providing comfort and
support; and

community affected by home fires by addressing their urgent
needs like food, lodging, and providing recovery support; and
WHEREAS, the Red Cross provided support for veterans and their families to
access critical services; and
WHEREAS, we applaud the American Red Cross’ mission to prevent and
alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies, and our
community depends on the American Red Cross, which relies on
volunteers and the generosity of the public to perform its mission;
NOW THEREFORE, be it proclaimed by the Board of County Commissioners of
Collier County, Florida, that March 2022 be designated as
