Blood Donation in Val d'Oise (95): Scheduled collection dates across the department for January 2026

January is traditionally a time for setting new resolutions... So why not make donating blood your goal this year? This month is an important opportunity to give blood—just as much as any other month—especially after the holiday break and summer vacations, times when we often forget to take this simple but vital step. It’s a period that helps boost the blood supply, allowing the French Blood Establishment (EFS) to organize a major blood collection campaign across Île-de-France, ensuring sufficient reserves for those in need.

If you're in Val d'Oise, here's good news: a large-scale blood donation campaign is also taking place in the department this January 2026. If you want to kick off the year by doing a good deed and donate blood to help hospitals save lives, we've got the locations and dates where you can make your donations in Val d'Oise.

As a reminder, French hospitals need about 10,000 blood donations daily to meet urgent needs, surgeries, and complex treatments, which collectively help save nearly 1 million patients each year. Since blood products have limited shelf lives (42 days for red blood cells, 7 days for platelets), stocks must be constantly replenished. One donation can potentially save up to three lives. Certain blood types are especially critical: the O− universal donor is in high demand during emergencies, while rarer groups such as AB− and B− (each representing about 1% of the population) are more difficult to find, making every donor’s contribution vital.
