Canadian Blood Services is asking local residents to make a trip to Winnipeg to give the gift of life.
CBS say it needs 25,000 donors before Labour Day to meet the current demand.
Territory Manager Joanne Drake says all blood types are needed but stresses O negative is the most urgent need.
Canadian Blood Services used to hold mobile clinics at Dryden High School, but ended the practice a couple of years ago.
Drake says the clinics became to expensive too run and notes new government regulations hindered operations.
