Clothes for Good boosts SPCA with $1000 donation

Clothes for Good, a local not for- profit pre-loved clothing initiative, has donated $1000 to SPCA Fiji Islands, enabling the shelter to build a much-needed outdoor enclosure for its feline residents.

The funds will go towards upgrading SPCA's facilities, creating a safer and more comfortable space for the cats to thrive.

The new outdoor run will provide the cats with access to sunlight and a more natural environment, while also expanding the shelter's capacity to care for the growing number of animals in need.

Clothes for Good, Fiji's first preloved clothing store, operates in Nabua and Lami. It channels all profits back into the community, supporting local charities and causes.

Founder Hayden Ostrom-Brown expressed pride in partnering with SPCA to improve their facilities.

"Every time someone shops at our stores, they're not just purchasing clothing-they're raising important funds for local organisations in need," Ostrom-Brown said.

"This donation to the SPCA is just the beginning of a longer-term partnership."

The SPCA Fiji Islands, which often struggles with limited resources, expressed immense gratitude for the support.

"This contribution will significantly enhance our facilities and improve the lives of the animals we care for," an SPCA representative said, adding they hope the donation will inspire other businesses to contribute.

Ostrom-Brown, also the CEO of Call Centre My Kora, urged other businesses to get involved in tackling Fiji's stray animal crisis.

"If more businesses step forward, we can provide better lives for these beautiful animals," he said.

The SPCA plays a vital role in addressing stray animal issues through desexing programmes, life-saving surgeries, and rehoming initiatives.
