On the occasion of the first city fundraiser of the year 2021, theFrench blood establishment once again joins forces with restaurateurs of Bonnes Tables du Lot. During this collection from February 2 to 5, 2021, donors will have the privilege of tasting, after their blood donation, a gourmet snack concocted by the greatest chefs of the Lot!
Seven great chefs from Lot will be present to delight the taste buds of donors: Marc Bozzato from Le Marché restaurant in Cahors, Jean-Claude Voisin du Vinois in Caillac, David Blanco from Côté Sud in Cahors, Julien Poisot from the Table of the Château de Mercuès, Alexandre Marre du Balandre in Cahors, Jean-François Dive de L’Ô à la bouche in Cahors, and Maryan Rak from La Bergerie to Mercuès.
It is therefore a major event to promote the EFS site in Cahors!
–This gourmet collection is the way to publicize the blood donation and to promote the donation site to Cadurciens. In 2021, more than 3,000 donations are needed at the Cahors site to meet self-sufficiency needs in blood products.
The Cahors EFS site
Located at 34 rue Charles Bourseul, the site is open throughout the year two days a week, Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. To give, it is possible to make an appointment on 0 800 972 100 or to come spontaneously on the site on opening days.

A delicate period …
The year 2020 was marked by an unprecedented pandemic, which once again demonstrated to us the spirit of solidarity of the French and in particular their commitment to blood donation, at a time when the reserves of blood products were dwindling in due to the health crisis. Needs remain significant at the start of 2021: every day in France, 10,000 blood donations are needed to meet the needs of patients. The generosity of donors is therefore essential!
Anti-covid measures
All precautionary measures are implemented on blood drives to avoid the risk of transmission of the virus with the wearing of a mask compulsory for all, accompanied by measures of distancing and reinforced hygiene.
People who have exhibited symptoms of Covid must wait 28 days after symptoms disappear to donate blood. You can travel to donate blood by completing the official certificate on the grounds of “assistance to vulnerable people”.
