While the temperatures begin to plummet and the long, cold nights set in, the Winter Knights of the Round Table are gearing up to once again bring the joy of warmth to thousands of less fortunate and destitute people who are faced with surviving the cold winter months.
“We are a family orientated young men’s organization who make serving our communities a fun experience. Our annual Winter Knights campaign has over the past decade successfully seen the collection and distribution of blankets, warm clothing and hot meals to thousands in need each year. This project goes beyond provisions by bringing hope and smiles that warm the hearts of every life touched by Winter Knights – whether it’s on the receiving or giving end of the campaign,” explains Leon Garbade, President of Round Table Southern Africa.

warmth in our community.
This year the Winter Knights are planning to spread the campaign beyond the borders of Round Table by inviting local sport, social and community organizations to take up the challenge and join them in collecting and distributing blankets and warm clothing for shelters, old age homes, orphanages and other deserving recipients.
“Our aim is to create a fun challenge between community organisations so that the joy of being a Winter Knight can be experienced during the months of June and July. In this way we plan to increase the reach of the campaign and to share the fun role that Round Table plays in serving the community,” concludes Garbade.
160 Tables throughout South Africa are planning a variety of exciting fundraising events to collect your donations of blankets, warm clothing, non-perishable food and funds.
