Jonas Trimble, a SIU electrical engineering major, prepares to get blood drawn at a blood drive held by the American Red Cross at the Student Center Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020. “Well, donations with blood like this saved my father’s life, so it’s kind of duty bound to do it myself to help save some other boy’s father to stay alive,” Trimble said.
