Part 2/5:
The practice of distributing care packages by the Red Cross dates back to World War I. During those tumultuous years, the organization recognized the importance of supporting military personnel and their families, offering tangible expressions of solidarity and comfort. Over decades, this tradition has evolved but remained steadfast, serving both active duty service members and veterans. Today, more than 220,000 military families receive assistance from the Red Cross annually, wherever they are stationed or living, ensuring nobody feels forgotten or unsupported.
