The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is looking for donors in Mountmellick.
A clinic will be held at Mountmellick Community School from 5.30pm until 8pm today.
Those who are healthy and well are being asked to attend.
The IBTS says blood only lasts 35 days and they always need new donors to come forward.
The Service has issued some helpful tips for people wishing to donate.
They say: “We recommend that you have eaten something and have had plenty of cold drinks.
“Allow yourself about an hour and a half to complete the process at the clinic from the registration to refreshments. Please also note our children on clinic policy.
“If you feel unwell after making a donation or think you may be coming down with an infection and wish to speak to the doctor on call, please contact us at 01 4322800.”
