Barnwell, SC – Four schools in the Barnwell County School District received a combined total of over $70,000 from SRP Federal Credit Union’s 2025 Affinity Debit Card Program proceeds, reflecting a year of commitment to supporting local schools from families, faculty and staff, and community members.


SRP Federal Credit Union officials joined Barnwell County School District Board of Trustees members and Superintendent Dr. Crissie Stapleton in a check presentation ceremony on March 25. The school district received $71,095.30 in unrestricted funds for participating schools.


“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are deeply grateful for SRP’s continued investment in our students and schools,” said Becky Huggins, Board Chair for the Barnwell County School District. “Partnerships like this strengthen not only our classrooms, but our entire community.”


Launched in 2018, the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program strengthens local high schools, as well as Augusta Technical College, with funding. Every time an SRP member makes a purchase using an Affinity Debit Card, SRP Federal Credit Union donates funds to the school designated on the card.


Participating schools have full discretion over how they use the Affinity donations, allowing them to allocate funds wherever they are needed most. These donations have supported a wide range of needs, including teacher certifications, school equipment, computer upgrades, team uniforms, and more.


“At SRP Federal Credit Union, we believe in strengthening our communities through the power of education,” said Lonzo Smith, SRP Federal Credit Union Community Impact Manager. “What makes the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program special is the way it connects schools, families, and community members toward a common goal: uplifting students in our area. We are proud to support schools across our 10-county service area with Affinity funds.”


In the Barnwell County School District, SRP Federal Credit Union offers Affinity Debit Cards that benefit the Barnwell County Career Center, Barnwell High School, Blackville-Hilda High School, and Williston-Elko High School.


"We are deeply grateful for our continued partnership with SRP Federal Credit Union and the impact of the Affinity Debit Card Program,” said Dr. Stapleton. “This initiative reflects a shared commitment to our students, turning everyday transactions into meaningful investments that support programs, provide resources, and create opportunities across Barnwell County School District. The impact of SRP’s Affinity Debit Card Program not only provides critical support for student programs and resources, but also demonstrates the power of a community coming together to invest in the success of our children."
