SRS employees volunteer in United Way of Aiken's annual Day of Caring
AIKEN, S.C. (WJBF) – Nearly 300 Savannah River Site (SRS) employees volunteered in the United Way of Aiken's 29th annual Day of Caring from Project VISION (Volunteers in Service in Our Neighborhoods) last week.
Volunteers from Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, Savannah River Mission Completion, Battelle Savannah River Alliance and Savannah River National Laboratory employees assisted in yard work, demolition, building wheelchair ramps and repairing gutters throughout several parts in Aiken County on March 21.
The groups partnered with several community agencies, including:
Girl Scouts of South Carolina: Mountains to the Midlands
ACTS of Aiken and Graniteville
North Augusta YMCA
Child Advocacy Center of Aiken County
Tri-Development Center
Helping Hands
The Salvation Army
'Project VISION is such a great program to participate in, because not only do volunteers get the benefit of helping others and their community, they get a chance to bond with their teams,' said Mike Swain, executive vice president and EM CEO. 'There is plenty of laughter, teamwork and community building on display at these sites.'
'It's important to give back to the community,' said Tim Arnold, an IT professional who volunteered. 'We're very blessed at the Site and we should help our community out.'
Project VISION has assisted partners of the Aiken County United Way since 1996.
