The Food & Winter Blanket Drive is an initiative that was launched 5 years ago to provide support to the Animal Shelters who are working at grass roots to alleviate the pain and suffering of abandoned and neglected animals.
Donate gently used or new blankets for our furry friends that need it the most! You can also donate discounted food to a variety of charities. Vondi’s will get the ball rolling and will donate 50 BLANKETS & 100 PACKETS OF FOOD! These donations will be shared amongst various rescue organisations.
YOU can donate discounted food here:
Animal abuse and neglect is rife and many committed individuals and organisations are working in the field, trying to make a difference. However, funds are hard to come by and this restricts the good that they can do. Our Drive has only one focus and that is the animals. Whether it be by way of providing blankets, food, or a few toys to brighten some sad eyes, we need your help!
We challenge companies and schools to participate in the Blanket Drive!
The Blanket Drive is a wonderful way for companies and schools to get involved and give back to those who desperately need it. In the past we have had companies rallying around this Drive with internal competitions. We have had schools running drives and creating awareness in the children of compassion towards animals.
If you raise a large enough collection we will arrange to bring a representative from a specific shelter to you for a formal handover. This is an excellent opportunity for media exposure as well as to learn more about what goes on in the animal rescue world. You can also sponsor bales of blankets and your company or school can take it
through to the shelter.

Wow! This is a good initiative. Not everyone truly cares about these animals – including many companies selling animal foods even though they should have been in the forefront of ensuring the animals get all the care they deserve. Thank you so much for bringing this up. Though I am seeing it for the first time, I’m definitely going to be part of this year’s big time.

Thank you for this movement, Vondis. Pls can we suggest or nominate any deserving shelter that we know would be happy to be a beneficiary. I’m sure going to drop in my donations soon too.
