Every year, a proclamation is made by the President of the United States declaring March as “Red Cross Month”. This is an opportunity for the American Red Cross to promote its services and raise funds to support humanitarian services and programs. As the nation’s premier emergency response organization, the Red Cross provides aid to victims of natural disasters, compassionate service for the needy, support for military members and their families, and helps maintain the country’s blood supply. Originally founded to serve the United States, the Red Cross has expanded its humanitarian efforts to reach individuals worldwide as well. Volunteer your time and money to help this great cause and alleviate suffering at home and abroad.

Why Green?
Have you ever wondered why everyone wears green on St. Patrick’s Day? Originally, St. Patrick was associated with blue because of the robes that he wore. However, green is the main color of the holiday due to Ireland’s lush green landscapes, its poetic name of Emerald Isle, and the shamrock. St. Patrick was recognized for using the shamrock as a teaching aide to explain the trinity. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, observers began wearing a shamrock on their lapels which over the years grew into the wearing of green apparel as a symbol of remembrance.
