Month in Massachusetts, joining a national celebration of the work of Red Cross volunteers. This tradition began over 80 years ago when President Franklin Roosevelt issued the fi rst national Red Cross Month proclamation. “Since Massachusetts’ own Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross over 140 years ago, multiple generations have stepped up to deliver relief and care across our country and around the world, bringing out the best of humanity in times of crisis,” reads the proclamation. “More than 2,400 Red Cross volunteers in Massachusetts remain unwavering in their commitment to prevent and alleviate human suff ering in the face of emergency.” In addition to responding to home fi res and other local disasters an average of twice a day around the state, Red Crossers who live in Massachusetts have already deployed more than 300 times since July 2024 to aid large disaster relief operations in other parts of the country, including the California wildfi res and Hurricanes Helene and Milton which impacted several Southeastern states. In fact, 2024 recorded the second-highest number of billion-dollar disasters in a single year, due to major events like hurricanes, fl oods and tornadoes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Governor Healey’s proclamation will be displayed TODAY MARCH 5 at the State House in Nurses Hall, from 10-3, then will be brought to it’s permanent location at a Red Cross offi ce.
