The RandWest SPCA is calling on the community to lend a helping hand by donating essential appliances that keep their daily operations running smoothly.

SPCA manager René van Straten explained that the fridge in their Westonaria office stopped working.

“The fridge is used for the staff’s lunches, milk and other essential items. If you have a working fridge that’s no longer in use and you’d be willing to donate it, we would be incredibly grateful for your support,” said René.

She added that two of the washing machines at the Randfontein branch are also in need of repair. René explained that the machine used for washing the animal’s blankets no longer spins or drains properly. The other machine, which is used for cleaning staff uniforms and work clothes, has wiring troubles.

“We kindly appeal to anyone who has the skills or resources to assist with repairs. Your help would make a big difference in keeping our animals and staff cared for and comfortable.”

She added that the times they are available for repairs are:

• Monday from 09:00 – 16:00
• Tuesday from10:00 – 16:00
• Wednesday to Friday from 09:00 – 16:00
• Saturday from 09:00 to noon
