CLAW gives pesky single-use plastic utensils a second chance by using the to feed animals in need, so if you have some, donate them.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (07 May 2024) – Community-Led Animal Welfare (CLAW) are giving single-use plastic utentils a second chance, using it to dish out meals for animals (and sometimes people too).

The team work in some of the most destitute and underprivileged areas in Gauteng. This means they often support the poorest of the poor, offering treatment to animals where there often is none. They also provide meals to these animals whenever the need arises, which is often.

Single-use plastics are a pain and many just get thrown away. CLAW makes sure those single-use plastic utentils sets make a difference

CLAW has spent the last two decades working in impoverished communities where traditional veterinary services are often unavailable. CLAW provides desperately needed veterinary services to dogs and cats, as well as vital animal care education to pet owners in Johannesburg’s poorest township areas.

CLAW has not only established a reputation for helping animals within townships; the organisation works closely with community-based organisations, schools, the Department of Agriculture and veterinary services around the city. They distribute food parcels, facilitate home-based care programmes to teach people how to care for the sick and dying, run food gardens, support child-headed households and help communities to access health and hospice care.

If you have plastic cutlery to share, please do reach out using the link below.

“Ever wondered what to do with unused plastic spoons, knives and forks ??

Please don’t throw them out…..

We use these daily to prep food for the dogs, along with making sandwiches for the kids.

We’d love it that when you have a full container, to make contact with us by WhatsApp, to arrange a drop off”
