The resolution recognizes May 8, 2025, as World Red Cross Day and Red Crescent Day at the Legislature, celebrating the spirit of humanitarianism and the contributions of volunteers in the Central Appalachia Region of the American Red Cross. It highlights the legacy of Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, and acknowledges the selfless efforts of individuals who provide critical support during times of crisis, such as delivering shelter, food, and comfort during disasters, collecting blood donations, and assisting military families.

In 2024, the American Red Cross in West Virginia made a significant impact by assisting nearly 900 families affected by disasters, collecting around 40,000 units of blood, providing lifesaving training to over 20,000 individuals, and supporting nearly 80 military members and their families. The resolution calls for recognition of these contributions and encourages everyone to join in the commitment to strengthen the community. It concludes with a directive to forward a copy of the resolution to the Regional Communications Director of the American Red Cross Central Appalachian Region office.
