For more than a decade, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions has contributed to the largest food bank in the region. SRNS recently continued that tradition with a $20,000 donation to the Golden Harvest Food Bank.

“The fact is multiple organizations like Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, combined with our amazing staff and volunteers, are the backbone that enables the work we do,” said Travis McNeal, GHFB Executive Director. “SRNS has been a highly valued, long-term partner whose executive team and employees understand the value of our mission. Their extremely generous donation will be put to good use. We are able to distribute $9 worth of food for every dollar donated.”

GHFB supports several services including the Senior Food Box, Master’s Table, Mobile Food Pantry and Student Backpack Programs.

“Golden Harvest has a vision to provide quality food and groceries to hungry individuals throughout the region,” said Stuart MacVean, SRNS President & CEO. “The results of their dedication are truly remarkable having distributed more than 250 million pounds of food throughout counties in Georgia
and South Carolina. Their desire to help those in need has impacted millions of people.”

GHFB has been noted for the exceptional efficiency of their operations and practical policies.  Only four percent of donations received go towards overhead costs, leaving 96 percent to support a wide variety of services and programs.

More than 300 local hunger relief agencies work closely with Golden Harvest to provide food to the hungry where they need it most, right in their own neighborhoods.

“We’re pleased to provide support to an organization that is devoted to successfully fight hunger in so many ways,” added MacVean.
