posted on

North Augusta, SC – In an initiative to uplift local financial wellness, SRP Federal Credit Union provided a free financial education seminar in each of the 10 counties SRP serves across Georgia and South Carolina during the spring and summer of 2025.

 

Led by SRP Financial Services Engagement Developer Tawanaca Williams, the seminars covered a variety of topics such as credit reports, credit scores, homeownership, identity theft prevention, scams, along with wills and trusts.

 

Over 500 community members attended the seminars, which included a free catered meal and advice from subject matter experts. Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many reviewers stating they found the seminars informative and easy to understand.

 

SRP Federal Credit Union’s field of membership includes South Carolina counties Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, and Edgefield, and Georgia counties Burke, Columbia, Jefferson, Lincoln, McDuffie, and Richmond. Williams and fellow members of SRP’s Financial Education team strive to serve members across all 10 counties with helpful resources.

 

“About two years ago, when I started in this role, the primary objective was to make sure each county was well-served,” said Williams, adding that attendance at her 2025 10-county initiative doubled from 2024.

 

Additionally, courtesy of SRP, Williams engaged with community members prior to each seminar through “Random Acts of Kindness,” assisting some back-to-school shoppers, grocery shoppers, and gas station customers with expenses.

 

“Our Financial Education team truly represents the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People,’” said Liz Ponder, Chief Executive Officer of SRP Federal Credit Union. “We are grateful for Tawanaca Williams and her colleagues’ unwavering dedication as they ensure communities across our field of membership have access to our educational resources.”

North Augusta, SC – As students in the CSRA return for the 2025-2026 school year, SRP Federal Credit Union has distributed thousands of school supplies and provided valuable financial information to help local students prepare for a bright future.

 

SRP team members have contributed nearly 100 volunteer hours at back-to-school events in communities across SRP’s 10-county service area in Georgia and South Carolina, engaging with students, families, and educators at over 25 schools and organizations.

 

Alongside school supplies and fun SRP swag items, SRP team members promoted the Credit Union’s youth checking and savings accounts, designed to introduce young members to money management and financial responsibility.

 

Students and families also received information about SRP Affinity Debit Cards, which allow members to help fund local schools with every purchase. SRP Federal Credit Union has donated over $2 million to 45 high schools and Augusta Technical College Foundation since the program’s inception in 2018.

 

In addition to volunteering at local back-to-school events, SRP team members recently contributed school supplies and volunteer hours to United Way of the CSRA’s Stuff the Bus collection drive, helping students in Richmond, Columbia, and Burke counties prepare for a successful school year.

 

“SRP is guided by the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People,’” said Grace Helms, Associate Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Community Development of SRP Federal Credit Union. “We are proud of all the opportunities we’ve taken to help local students start the school year ready to learn, from providing school supplies to assisting with great financial beginnings.”
