Senate Resolution No. 1197

BY: Senator MARTINEZ

 COMMEMORATING the 60th Anniversary of United Way
 of Long Island on June 18, 2025

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commemorate significant milestones of organizations that have rendered
exemplary service to their communities and have worked to uplift those
most in need; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commemorate the
60th Anniversary of United Way of Long Island on Wednesday, June 18,
2025; and

 WHEREAS, For six decades, United Way of Long Island has been a
pillar of compassion and community strength, mobilizing people and
resources to ensure that all residents can thrive with dignity, safety,
and opportunity; and

 WHEREAS, In celebration of its 60th year of service, United Way of
Long Island is launching The Compassion Fund, a cash assistance program
designed to meet the urgent needs of those with nowhere else to
turn-whether for rent, medication, heating oil, diapers, transportation,
or other life-essential expenses; and

 WHEREAS, The fund is intended to serve ALICE households-Asset
Limited, Income Constrained, Employed-who represent more than one-third
of Long Island families, including essential workers such as grocery
clerks, bus drivers, home health aides, veterans, and seniors, all
struggling to remain afloat despite their efforts; and

 WHEREAS, By standing in solidarity with our neighbors during their
most difficult moments, Compassion Champions become powerful agents of
hope and resilience, offering not just help but dignity and humanity;
and

 WHEREAS, United Way of Long Island's enduring mission is to mobilize
communities to action, address systemic challenges, and expand
opportunities for youth, improve public health, promote financial
stability, and build resilient, connected neighborhoods; and

 WHEREAS, In recognizing the 60th Anniversary of United Way of Long
Island, the State of New York affirms the importance of collective care,
empathy-driven leadership, and the vital role of community partnerships
in shaping a more equitable and compassionate future for all New
Yorkers; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 60th Anniversary of United Way of Long Island on June
18, 2025, and recognizing its commitment to providing hope and support
through The Compassion Fund; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to United Way of Long Island.
