Provide aid to those in need this winter…

Stephan Lucas and his team help the Daphne Lee Disability Center!

The recent donation of over R7000.00 worth of men's clothing to the Daphne Lee Disability Center by Stephen Lucas and Bernhard van den Berg, with the unwavering support of Stilfontein 53, is just one of the many projects undertaken by the club as part of Winter Knights—a national Round Table initiative aimed at providing essential goods to those in need during the winter season.

Stilfontein 53 has always been at the forefront of lending a helping hand to their community, and their dedication to the Winter Knights project is a testament to their commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Understanding the challenges faced by individuals during the cold winter months, the club actively participates in gathering donations to provide warmth and comfort to those who need it most.

Stephen Lucas and Bernhard van den Berg took it upon themselves to spearhead the drive to collect men's clothing for the Daphne Lee Disability Center. Their tireless efforts, combined with the overwhelming support from the members of Stilfontein 53, resulted in a substantial donation that will undoubtedly bring much-needed relief to those in the center.

The generous contribution includes a wide range of warm clothing items such as jackets, sweaters, and trousers— essential pieces that will help individuals stay cozy and protected from the biting winter chill. These donations go beyond providing physical comfort; they also offer a sense of warmth and care, reminding those in need that they are not alone in their struggles.

The handout of the donated clothing at the Daphne Lee Disability Center was a touching moment, with gratitude and appreciation filling the air. The recipients expressed their heartfelt thanks, acknowledging the profound impact these contributions would have on their daily lives. Stilfontein 53 and the entire Round Table community are honored to have played a part in bringing smiles to the faces of those in need.

The Winter Knights project is an integral part of Stilfontein 53's ongoing commitment to social responsibility. Through their active involvement, the club embodies the Round Table ethos of fellowship, personal growth, and community service. Their dedication to this national initiative is a shining example of how collective efforts can create positive change in society.

As the winter season progresses, Stilfontein 53 will continue to lend its support to the Winter Knights project and other initiatives aimed at making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. The club's unwavering commitment and compassion serve as an inspiration to others, demonstrating the power of unity and kindness in creating a better world.
