Having grown and expanded to service the market nationally and more recently internationally by launching a store in Windhoek, the company has also taken on a responsibility to give back to the communities where it operates.
For the second year in a row, Stewarts & Lloyds has taken on a national blanket drive to help those in need all through the country.
Every branch made an effort to make the event special and on top of handing out the blankets, teams also raised money and ordered groceries and necessities for charities in need.
This year, the Stewarts & Lloyds Kimberley branch stood out and took home the Spirit Trophy.
The Kimberley branch donated 50 blankets and an R2 500 food voucher to Jannie Roux Children’s Home.
The residents were also treated to R2 500 worth of soup and fat cakes to enjoy on the day. Kimberley’s donations were described as ‘a big blessing to the children’.

The entire Stewarts & Lloyds group managed to help over 30 charities nationwide, including various SPCAs, other animal shelters, children’s homes, old age homes and more.
