Blood Donation Drives Scheduled for Sarreguemines and Petite-Rosselle on May 12
Community health depends on the generosity of donors. On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, two critical blood collection events will take place in the Sarreguemines area to support local and national medical needs. These drives are organized by the Etablissement français du sang (EFS) in collaboration with local volunteers.
Where and When to Donate
To ensure a steady supply of blood products for patients, the EFS has scheduled collections at two separate locations on Tuesday. Depending on your location, you can visit either of the following sites:
Casino des Faïenceries (Sarreguemines)
The collection at the Casino des Faïenceries will run from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM (14h to 19h). This site serves as a primary hub for donors within Sarreguemines.
Espace La Concorde (Petite-Rosselle)
For those located in Petite-Rosselle, a second collection is available at Espace La Concorde. This drive will be open from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM (15h to 19h).
Who is Managing the Collections?
These events are staffed by healthcare professionals from the Etablissement français du sang and supported by local volunteers. The presence of EFS professionals ensures that all donations are collected under strict medical supervision and safety standards.

The Importance of Regular Donation
Blood products are essential for emergency surgeries, cancer treatments, and the management of chronic illnesses. Because blood components have a limited shelf life, consistent community participation in these weekly collections is vital to prevent shortages.
