Mayor Christopher Roberts proclaims March American Red Cross month in Shoreline

Mayor Christopher Roberts has officially proclaimed March as American Red Cross Month in Shoreline, emphasizing the importance of community compassion during challenging times. This declaration was made at a recent Shoreline City Council meeting, where the contributions of the American Red Cross of King County were celebrated. With around 7,000 volunteers from Washington and North Idaho, the Red Cross provides emergency assistance, teaches life-saving skills, and organizes vital community support initiatives. During the event, Mounsey, a volunteer who recently helped wildfire victims in California, shared her moving experiences. Mayor Roberts highlighted that this spirit of generosity is woven into the community's fabric, aligning with the humanitarian legacy of Red Cross founder Clara Barton.

He urged all residents to engage with the Red Cross's mission and support their local efforts. The proclamation serves as a reminder of the critical role that volunteers play in maintaining community resilience. This initiative not only honors the work of local volunteers but also encourages broader participation in humanitarian activities throughout Shoreline.
