The American Red Cross is hosting its first blood drive in three years at its office

Zach Trujillo is stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base and has been a Wichita Falls resident for six years.

“When I saw all the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes, I felt compelled to come out and donate.”

Trujillo has been donating blood for 10 years. After reading an article about the need for blood, he understood the importance of donating and sharing a human gift with those who need it. Trujillo has seen the effects of blood donation firsthand through the transfusions his father and other family members have received in the past.

“It was great to see them get what they needed and this is now my way of giving back to others.”
Trujillo came to the Wichita Falls chapter office as a B-negative blood donor to make his first Power Red donation.

“I read online that the Red Cross needs Power Red donors and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
