The groceries included sugar, flour, mealie-meal, beans and toilet cleaners, among other items.
Speaking during the handover of the groceries, IIA chief executive officer Roy Bvekerwa said the institute had been donating to orphanages around the country following a charity fund they set up in 2010.
He said they were looking forward to partnering with orphanages as part of their social responsibility initiative.
“We have always had a good relationship with our community,” he said. “We would like to expand this programme.”
KCV director Jabulani Xaba said the home, which has 102 orphans, was facing financial problems owing to lack of funding.
“We are getting the same funding we used to get when we had 50 children yet we now have double the number,” he said.
