Collecting caps for canines

For the last five years, AmCham EU has partnered with the Belgian non-profit Dopjesactie to raise funds to train guide dogs for persons who are blind or have low vision. Guide dogs help navigate busy streets, find seats on crowded buses and trains and help their owners live full, independent lives. This kind of responsibility requires extensive training, which Dopjesactie funds in part through the collection of plastic bottlecaps. The more caps we collect, the more cash we help raise, and the more people we can support.

That's where AmCham EU comes in, collecting plastic bottlecaps to be recycled, exchanged for cash and donated to Dopjesactie. Help us by bringing your bottlecaps to our offices and by learning more about this initiative at https://dopjesactie.be/.
