Over 70 Savannah River Nuclear Solution (SRNS) employees recently volunteered at the United Way agencies across the Greater Augusta area as part of the annual Project Serve campaign to benefit the United Way of the Central Savannah Area.
Volunteers spent the day completing needed facility maintenance and repairs at five different agency sites. This year’s projects included landscaping, fence repairing, painting, floor repairing, playground construction, basic repairs and more.
“It’s important that the needs of these charitable organizations are met in order for them to successfully achieve their missions,” said Ethan Guidry SRNS Project Serve Chair. “SRNS employees have always been willing to donate their time, talent and skills to support the numerous project requests from agencies.”
SNRS Lead Emergency Preparedness Specialist Keith McGuire has volunteered with United Way for almost 19 years, according to a press release from SRNS.
This year, he served as team lead at the Heritage Academy, an independent school offering a quality Christ-centered education to children of diverse economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds.
“Our team accomplished several projects across the school’s campus, including installing a new fence, laying mulch around the playground, trimming tree limbs and cleaning overgrown flower beds,” said McGuire. “It’s rewarding to know that these improvements are impacting the lives of individuals living right here in our community.”
Other Project Serve teams from SRNS completed projects at The Salvation Army Kroc Center, Jessye Norman School of the Arts, Camp Tanglewood and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Augusta.
Guidry said he was proud of their accomplishments and humbled by the overall participation of SRNS employees and their selflessness to volunteer on a day they normally would be off.
“Our employees’ passion and dedication to impacting the local community through the United Way Project Serve is truly inspiring,” Guidry said. “Their unwavering commitment and hard work demonstrate our company’s core values and our collective desire to make a positive difference in the CSRA.”
Project Serve assists United Way agencies that provide support to 31 different programs, at 19 partner agencies throughout the region.
SRNS is a dedicated supporter of the United Way, having raised over $800,000 for local United Way agencies during the 2023 Savannah River Site United Way campaign.
