The Edenvale Football Club (EFC) recently donated animal food and blankets to the Germiston and Bedfordview SPCA.<\/p>\n
The donations were given to the club by the community of the EFC, Edenvale and surrounds.<\/p>
Justin Holder from EFC and a Germiston resident took up the initiative to start the donation drive after reading an article asking for assistance for the SPCA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI read the article and saw that the Germiston and Bedfordview SPCA was in a financial crisis and desperately looking for food for the furry babies,\u201d explained Holder.<\/p>
He decided to take action and started collecting food and blankets from the teams at EFC.<\/p>\n
He said members of the football club also asked the Edenvale community for assistance.<\/p>\n
Although the club has handed over the donated items, this is not the end of the EFC\u2019s quest to help animals in need.<\/p>\n
A member of the football club has asked the SPCA for permission to use the SPCA logo to do more food drives.<\/p>\n
The club is waiting for the go-ahead from the NSPCA.<\/p>\n
Holder said the EFC plans to hold another donation drive for the Edenvale SPCA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe at Edenvale Football Club would like to thank our parents, players and community for their contributions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would also like to challenge other football clubs, other sporting clubs and schools to support their local SPCA,\u201d said Holder.<\/p>\n
