“Sponsorships assist our programs in uplifting survivors as they start their journey free of violence, and we are so blessed to have the support of SRNS,” said Jessica Coach, Cumbee Center executive director. “Some of the most vulnerable populations remain underserved; without community support, we could never achieve so much.”
Donations help provide services to victims of abuse through providing a haven for their families and advocating for social change.
The Cumbee Center serves individuals from Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, Edgefield, McCormick, and Saluda counties.
“Supporting and giving back to our community has always been important to SRNS,” said Darlene Murdoch, senior vice president of NNSA pit production operations and programs. “We are proud to partner with the Cumbee Center and commend their extraordinary work and commitment to providing assistance for those who need it most.”
In 2023, they served 724 new survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and provided over 8,500 units of service. They provided 121 survivors with 2,645 safe nights and 149 survivors with counseling. In 2024, they provided services to 616 survivors.
“The Cumbee Center plays a vital role in our local community investing time and resources into educating and empowering our communities to respond and prevent domestic and sexual violence through trainings, technical assistance, and increasing awareness,” said Ebony Kerlin, SRNS physician assistant and secretary of the Cumbee Center’s board of directors. “Donations from companies like SRNS have a tremendous impact on the lives and outcomes of the many clients the Center serves. I am honored to be a part of the Cumbee Center and proud to work for a company that recognizes and invests in such an incredible organization.”
