Employees from Savannah River Site (SRS) gathered to celebrate the official kickoff of the 2024 SRNS Employee United Way Campaign. Since the 1950s, SRS has continued the tradition of supporting United Way agencies with volunteer and donation efforts.

At the kickoff event, local United Way agency representatives engaged with and educated employees about the various services available to the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) community. Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) United Way Chair Morgan Welch was pleased with the overall success of the event and said it was a great way for Site employees to learn more about how their campaign donations can have an amplified impact on the community.

“This year’s kickoff event was a huge success. The attendees were able to learn about different agencies and meet those who are serving in the field every day,” said Welch.

Over the next several months, SRNS, Savannah River National Laboratory, Savannah River Mission Completion and Centerra will host a variety of fundraising events to support each company’s goals toward the overall Site campaign goal of $1.4 million.

“Employees will have the opportunity to contribute to the campaign by participating in food sales, office competitions, golf tournaments, volunteer projects and other events, and also by submitting their monthly eCard commitments,” said Ethan Guidry SRNS United Way Vice Chair.

SRS employees continue to embrace the tradition of giving, which has led to successful results over the decades. During last year’s campaign, SRS contributed over $1.46 million to the campaign, exceeding their sitewide goal of $1.4 million.

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, a Fluor and HII partnership company, is responsible for the management and operations of the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, located near Aiken, South Carolina.
