Boé Residents Give Generously, Community Events Flourish
The volunteer blood donors association of Boé, a long-standing organization within the community, continues its vital work with six donation drives scheduled throughout 2026 at the François-Mitterrand space. The first drive of the year, held on March 2nd, saw 79 donations successfully collected from 82 registered donors.
The Importance of Local Blood Donation
The French Blood Establishment (EFS) manages the collection process, while the dedicated volunteers of the Boé association focus on welcoming donors, providing post-donation care, and offering a substantial meal. Unlike many donation sites that offer a simple snack, Boé prioritizes donor rehydration and well-being with a full meal, fostering a convivial atmosphere.
This year, donors enjoyed a meal of fries and sausages prepared by Daniel, alongside delicious crêpes made by Christine and Colette. Upcoming donation dates are May 4th, July 6th, August 31st, October 26th, and December 21st.
Becoming a blood donor is a simple act with a profound impact. Interested individuals can find more information at dondesang.efs.sante.fr/. Membership in the association is also available for a minor annual fee of 5€.
Engaging Young Readers with “Alors Raconte”
Beyond blood donation, Boé is fostering a love of storytelling in its youngest residents. The “Alors Raconte” program, designed for children aged 4-6, will be held on Saturday, March 7th, starting at 11:00 AM at the Médiathèque. Children must be accompanied by a parent.
