Calling on Shoppers to Paws for a Cause at IGA

When was the last time you changed someone’s life while you did your weekly grocery shopping?

For the month of March, Guide Dogs Queensland and IGA stores across the state are teaming up for the IGA Paws for a Cause campaign!

An easy way for shoppers to lend a helping paw, the campaign aims to raise much needed funds to support two very special Guide Dog puppies and assist Queenslanders living with blindness and low vision.

Throughout IGA Paws for a Cause, IGA stores in Queensland will stock six limited edition collector cards available for just $2 each.

While $2 may not seem like a significant amount to each of us as individuals, every contribution adds up to make a big impact. With your help, IGA is hoping to raise enough throughout the month to fund the two year training journey of two Guide Dogs.

With over 30 people on the waitlist for a Guide Dog, your support for people who are blind or vision impaired can make a big difference. Make sure you march into your local IGA store to fetch your collector cards today!

Last year alone, the Community’s ongoing support added up to:
– 63 new puppies being born
– 24 Guide Dogs graduating
– 114 children benefiting from special programs just for kids
– 43 free vision clinics being held across Queensland to support people concerned about their vision
– 10,000 hours of support services provided to blind and vision impaired Queenslanders—helping them gain their freedom and independence.
