Northmead Square placed baskets in front of some stores in the shopping centre for donations of dog and cat food, toys and leashes.
The shopping centre also hosted two fund-raising campaigns for Barc.
One of the projects were wrapping Christmas gifts for donations and the other was the Tree of Remembrance.
The Tree of Remembrance allowed shoppers to buy a bauble for R20 for the centre’s Christmas tree.
They were made from wood and participants wrote a name of a lost loved one or pet on it to honour their lives.
Charmaine Woest, one of Barc’s directors, said the two initiatives raised a sum of R18 560.
