Recognizing May 8, 2025, as World Red Cross Day and Red Crescent Day

Senate Resolution 49 recognizes May 8, 2025, as World Red Cross Day and Red Crescent Day at the West Virginia Legislature. The resolution acknowledges the American Red Cross Central Appalachian Region's work in West Virginia, including assisting nearly 900 disaster-impacted families in 2024, collecting 40,000 blood units, and providing lifesaving training to over 20,000 people. It directs the Senate Clerk to forward a copy of the resolution to the American Red Cross Central Appalachian Region office. This procedural resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally honors the humanitarian work of Red Cross volunteers.
