Supporting the circular economy is at the core of our sustainability efforts, and repurposing these Checkers Sixty60 loadbox socks to benefit vulnerable animals is another way we help to protect the planet. Thank you National Council of SPCAs (South Africa) for your incredible work on animal welfare. #ShopriteGroup #LetsActForChange #WorkThatMatters
#ThankfulTuesday ShopriteX It's always so heart-warming when a large retail chain like Checkers decides to support the SPCA! 🤝 Recently, Checkers Sixty60 generously donated over 5,000 pre-owned loadbox socks to various Societies in Gauteng. Lucky recipients included the Brakpan, Alberton, Germiston, Tshwane, Edenvale, Joburg, and Randburg SPCAs. 🎉 Do you know those big boxes on the back of the Sixty60 bikes that hold all your grocery goodies? Those loadboxes are covered with "socks", which are protective covers made from durable, semi-stretch, non-absorbent fabric. The fabric is great quality and can be used in a variety of ways by SPCAs, from providing extra cushioning for pallet beds in kennels, to creating luxury hammocks in catteries. 🐕🐈 We'd like to thank Checkers Sixty60 from the bottom of our hearts for this early Christmas present!🎄 Your donation is going to change the lives of hundreds of cats and dogs this festive season. 💖🏍️ #NSPCA #SPCA #ThankfulTuesday #Sixty60 #Checkers #Generosity
