People in the Roscrea area are being encouraged to attend the Irish Blood Transfusion Service clinic over the coming days.
A donation clinic is being held in Scoil Eoin Naofa from 4.30 to 8 this evening and again tomorrow.
The IBTS is asking people who are well and healthy and have some time to make a special effort to come along to the clinic.
3,000 blood donors are needed each week in Ireland though just 3% of the Irish population give blood.
