AIKEN, S.C. (March 22, 2024) — A group of volunteers from Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC) teamed up to lend a hand to area agencies in need for the United Way of Aiken County’s Project VISION “Day of Caring.”
The Project VISION — or Volunteers In Service In Our Neighborhoods — Day of Caring took place on March 15, 2024, with hundreds of volunteers setting out across the county for the annual community service day. More than 50 volunteers from SRMC teamed up to assist with renovations, repairs, or landscaping at Children's Place, Brothers & Sisters of Aiken County, the Cumbee Center, and the Aiken United Way’s office. A group of volunteers also served at private residences designated by United Way to build a front porch with a wheelchair ramp, as well as steps to a back porch.
The Project VISION coordinator for SRMC, Bobbi Stavru, said she is sincerely grateful for the participation and support from everyone who stepped up to volunteer for the Day of Caring.
“It truly is amazing what a relatively small group of people can accomplish when they come together to serve others in ways that are bigger than themselves,” said Stavru, executive admin/coordinator for SRMC Projects and Construction Services. “Without the support of our gracious volunteers, many of the agency needs would not get completed.”
SRMC President and Program Manager Dave Olson said he is proud to see employees willingly give back to the community through Project VISION.
“At SRMC, I continuously see our employees not only give of their ‘treasure’ during the annual fundraising campaign but give of their time and talents through various projects throughout the year,” Olson said. “Thank you to those who coordinated the efforts and volunteered for the service projects.”
SRMC employees volunteered their time and undertook numerous projects to help their neighbors-in-need through the annual United Way of Aiken County’s Project Volunteers In Service In Our Neighborhoods (VISION).
