A Viola Chan dress has been donated to SAINTs who plan to sell it and donate the proceeds to CLAW; the dress is brand new and perfect for a bride-to-be or matric dance attendee.
Northriding, South Africa (28 September 2022) – A stunning dress valued at over R17,000 has been donated to the SAINTs Animal Charity Shop in North Riding. The dress is brand new, still with its tag so the charity shop is hoping to sell it for a good price with the full proceeds going to CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare).
The stunning dress is available for viewing and fittings at the charity shop. It is perfect for a bride or a young lady looking for a matric dance dress. The designer is Viola Chan and the dress is a size 6 but the shop has the dress on a size 10 mannequin.
“The donor entrusted this R 17 200 dress to us to make all the money possible for CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare) – PLEASE share this far and wide, to all the brides to be and matriculants you know”
How SAINTs Saves Animals
While the acronym means “Supporting Animals In Needy Times”, anyone who knows the organisation agrees that SAINTS is run and supported by people who save, shelter and sterilise animals out of a deep love for them and their ongoing wellbeing at all times.
SAINTS was founded in 2008 by Vivienne Elliott and her son Jordan. They started small and hosted a book sale to help well-known animal shelter FORA to purchase food for their many shelter animals. They were able to handover over R5 000 to FORA.
They started selling donated goods and using the funds to support animal welfare organisations. It was heartwarming seeing the money raised, go directly towards the animals they loved so dearly.
SAINTS was formalised as a non-profit company (NPC) in 2012 with two co-directors; the SAINTS journey grew from book sales to clothing, ornaments and oddment sales – and much more. In 2012, the SAINTS Charity Shop was opened at North Riding Square, Bellairs Drive, Northriding.
You can check out the online charity shop here or visit them between 10 am and 3 pm at shop 19a, Northriding Square, Cnr Bellairs and Blandford Dr, North Riding.
