Clean Paws grant donated by Community Bank Leopold, Bendigo Bank
June 17, 2024
The ‘Clean Paws’ grant, totaling $13,395, has enabled GAWS to purchase four new commercial washing machines from Speed Queen for the shelter.
Prior to receiving this grant, GAWS was struggling with only two functional but failing washing machines, while two additional machines were completely out of service.
These funds enabled us to provide our volunteers with 4 brand new efficient washing machines that allows them to safely manage the massive, daily laundry loads in order for our animals to be provided with the essentials of clean and warm bedding.
GAWS extends its heartfelt thanks to Community Bank Leopold for their generous support, and looks forward to the continued positive impact these new washing machines will have on our operations and the animals in our care.
"The renewal of the 4 Speed Queen washing machines in our GAWS laundry has greatly improved the ability and reliability to keep control of the many wash loads myself and other volunteers do on a daily basis.
These machines have enabled us to provide the animals at GAWS with consistent clean, fresh bedding keeping their pens hygienic. The generous donations we receive from the public are able to be continuously repurposed."
