## Resource

Lubbock’s blood bank is in urgent need—critical supplies are running low, and the annual Battle of the Badges blood drive is heating up this week at South Plains Mall. Police, sheriff’s office, and fire rescue are going head-to-head in a friendly rivalry to see who can collect the most donors. With summer’s vacationers and fewer young donors on deck, demand is soaring while supply plummets—especially for type O blood. First responders are rallying the community, emphasizing that giving blood is just as vital as responding to emergencies. Donors can get movie tickets or even win a car, and the drive runs Sunday, July 19th, from noon to 6 PM—just 45 minutes to give, plus ID required.
