The organisers say they're startled at the generosity of people to help.
Almost €20,000 has been raised in Laois over the course of the weekend for emergency personal protective equipment.
Portlaoise Hospital Action Committee is appealing for donations to order more stock from abroad for healthcare workers in short supply.
With the help of Colgan Sports, orders have now been placed with a Chinese company for 10,000 gowns and 10,000 face masks for the Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.
Secretrary of the Hospital Action Committee, John Hanniffy, says they've been blown away by the generosity and the willingness of people to help:
