The German Red Cross blood donor service has launched an autumn campaign in Güllesheim to boost lagging supplies and attract first-time donors. The German Red Cross Blood Donation Service West announced the regional drive to combat seasonal shortages caused by people traveling or being away during the autumn season, which can lead to supply bottlenecks for patients requiring blood products.
The upcoming blood donation appointment in Güllesheim is scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2026, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Raiffeisenhalle in Güllesheim (Horhausen). The Red Cross welcomes regular donors, individuals who have not attended an appointment in a while, and those giving blood for the very first time.
Campaign Incentives for First-Time and Regular Donors
To encourage participation, the campaign features special tokens of appreciation. Individuals donating blood for the first time in their lives will receive an exclusive coffee-to-go mug decorated with the sheep from the “Ohne dich ist alles doof” world alongside the slogan “Be cool, give blood.”
Every visitor attending the blood donation term—including regular donors and those returning after a longer break—will receive an exclusive design edition of natural Fleur de Sel sea salt originating from the Camargue as a thank-you gift.
Requirements and What to Expect at the Appointment
The blood donation service appeals to all healthy individuals to utilize the opportunity to donate and help ensure the continuous supply of blood preparations. Prospective donors must be at least 18 years old and feel healthy, as the upper age limit no longer applies. Attendees must bring either an identity card or a driver’s license to the appointment.
Participants are advised to eat something and drink adequately before arriving. The entire process takes about one hour, while the actual blood donation only lasts five to ten minutes, followed by a ten-minute resting period. Afterward, the Red Cross provides refreshments in the form of a snack or a lunch pack.
Further information regarding current blood donation dates, potential changes, and general topics can be obtained free of charge by calling 0800/1194911 or visiting online.
