North Augusta, SC – SRP Federal Credit Union hosted a blood drive in collaboration with Shepeard Community Blood Center on August 4, helping to provide relief during a national blood supply crisis declared by the American Red Cross.

 

55 participants donated a total of 49 pints, enough to save up to 147 local lives. Donors had the opportunity to give blood in Shepeard’s mobile donation units at SRP’s Administrative Campus or donate at any of Shepeard’s donor centers throughout the week.

 

SRP Federal Credit Union and Shepeard Community Blood Center collaborate quarterly to host community blood drives. SRP employees, members, and the local community come together in support of patients throughout the CSRA. In 2025, the four SRP Community Blood Drives resulted in enough donations to save up to 267 lives.

 

“I choose to donate because one simple act of kindness can have an extraordinary impact,” said Pamela Frazier, SRP Federal Credit Union AVP. “A single blood donation can bring hope where there is fear, strength where there is weakness, and the gift of tomorrow for someone facing a life-threatening situation. Knowing that my donation makes a difference is all the reason I need and reminds me that the greatest gifts are often the ones we give of ourselves.”

Augusta, GA – Through donated school supplies and volunteer efforts, SRP Federal Credit Union employees, known internally as ambassadors, made a meaningful impact during United Way of the CSRA's 2026 Stuff the Bus school supply drive. United Way's annual Stuff the Bus campaign collects school supplies to help local K–12 students begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

 

Backpacks, notebooks, art supplies, writing utensils, calculators, and more filled donation bins at SRP's branches and administrative campus throughout the July drive. The company-wide initiative concluded with a volunteer day at the Salvation Army Kroc Center, where SRP ambassadors sorted, labeled, and packed school supplies for distribution to local K–12 students.

 

“We are incredibly grateful to SRP Federal Credit Union for showing what true community partnership looks like,” said Brittany Burnett, President and CEO of United Way of the CSRA. “Their team didn’t just give—they showed up, volunteered, and helped make Stuff the Bus a success for so many of our local students. Because of SRP, children across our community will start the school year with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed. We are so grateful for SRP for investing in their future.”

SRP Community Impact Manager Lonzo Smith, whose team organized SRP’s efforts, said every donation helps relieve some of the financial pressure families experience during the back-to-school season.

 

“For SRP, Stuff the Bus is about making sure local students start the school year feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn,” said Smith. “As a community-focused credit union, we understand that something as simple as a backpack, notebook, or pack of pencils can make a big difference for a family. This campaign gives us an opportunity to come together as employees, ambassadors, members, and neighbors to invest in the future of our community's children.”

 

Guided by the credit union philosophy of People Helping People, SRP Federal Credit Union is committed to uplifting education across the 10 counties it serves. Smith said the Stuff the Bus campaign demonstrated a strong spirit of generosity among SRP ambassadors.

 

“When hundreds of people come together for a common cause, the impact ripples throughout the community,” said Smith. “Students benefit, families benefit, teachers benefit, and ultimately, our entire community is stronger because we're helping create opportunities for young people to thrive.”

North Augusta, SC – The SRP Foundation Board of Directors presented Christ Central Aiken and Graniteville with a $10,000 grant on Thursday, June 25, providing vital support for the organization’s Fast Track GED Program.


Established in 2011 to help adults earn their high school equivalency credential, Christ Central’s Fast Track GED Program provides preparation for General Educational Development (GED) tests. Christ Central offers the program at no cost to participants, alleviating the financial barriers that often prevent adults from returning to school.


Since its inception, the program has helped over 600 adults earn their high school equivalency credential.


“That number represents far more than diplomas,” said Roy Geiselhart, President of the Board of Directors for the SRP Foundation. “It represents individuals who chose not to give up, families whose futures were changed, and opportunities that may not have otherwise existed.”


The SRP Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is governed by a board comprised of active and former SRP Federal Credit Union executives, leaders, and volunteers. Reflecting community initiatives within SRP Federal Credit Union, the Foundation is committed to uplifting education, housing, healthcare, and human services in the CSRA.


“The SRP Foundation views today’s contribution not simply as a donation, but as an investment in people and in the future of our communities. We are proud to partner with an organization that has demonstrated such a lasting and measurable impact,” said Geiselhart.


Linda Coffin, Fast Track GED Program coordinator at Christ Central Aiken and Graniteville, said the funds will help support a variety of needs within the program.


“Thank you for trusting Christ Central with helping to further the education of adults in the CSRA,” said Coffin to the SRP Foundation. “Your grant will allow us to purchase GED books, calculators, practice tests and actual final tests for many students in our area. We’ll even be able to have snacks on hand for those who come straight from work to our tutoring sessions. I was proud to be a member of SRPFCU and see my institution care about changing the path for people who have gotten off track. Our students’ futures look brighter because of your involvement.”

Johnston, SC – SRP Federal Credit Union leaders presented the Edgefield County Board of Education with a ceremonial check for nearly $40,000 at the board meeting on Tuesday, June 9, reflecting a year of support for Strom Thurmond High School in the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program.

 

Totaling $39,403.80, the donation represents the program’s 2025 proceeds for STHS—bringing the school’s lifetime proceeds to nearly $200,000.

 

SRP Federal Credit Union launched the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program in 2018 to help support local high schools with funding. The program has expanded since its inception to include 45 high schools, as well as Augusta Technical College, across the CSRA.

 

Every time an SRP member uses an SRP Affinity Debit Card, the credit union donates funds to the school designated on the card. Schools have full discretion over the funds, allowing them to address a variety of needs. Past donations have supported technology upgrades, team uniforms, school equipment, teacher certifications, and more.

 

Kristin Risher, principal of STHS, said receiving funding support through the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program gives the school the flexibility to innovate and support crucial programs and resources.

 

"These funds directly impact our daily culture by powering our R.E.B.S. Rewards student incentive program, supporting staff development and recognition to ensure high-quality instruction daily, providing critical resources for families in poverty, and helping to continue the forward movement of our unique career academy model to provide career-related experiences that reach beyond classroom walls,” said Risher. “The SRP Affinity Debit Card Program isn't just funding our school; it is actively investing in our future!"
