We were thrilled to once again host the Aiken Chamber Business After Hours at our Aiken Office!

It was a fantastic evening of connecting with local business leaders, community partners, friends, and colleagues while enjoying great food, refreshments, and conversation. Events like these are a wonderful reminder of the strong relationships that make the Aiken community such a special place to live and do business.

Last week, Latrisha Crouch had the opportunity to speak with senior members of Second Calvary Baptist Church about the importance of recognizing and protecting themselves from fraud. She discussed several common types of scams, including check fraud, mail fraud, and more, while sharing ways these schemes can impact individuals and their financial well-being.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to connect with members of our community and provide valuable information that can help them stay informed, vigilant, and protected.

Our team recently had the opportunity to present a $1,000 donation to Hungry Heroes in Rock Hill, SC. Founded in 2018, Hungry Heroes gives back to first responders, active military members, and veterans by bringing people together through food and fellowship and showing appreciation for those who dedicate their lives to serving others.

We’re grateful for the incredible work Hungry Heroes does and honored to play a small part in supporting their mission. Thank you for all you do to serve those who serve us!

There’s nothing quite like helping put a new book into the hands of a young reader!

Our team recently had the pleasure of volunteering with Public Education Partners-Aiken at a book fair at East Aiken School of the Arts, helping students pick out books of their very own.

Through The Diana Floyd “My Own Book” Program, every 3rd grader in the Aiken County school system receives a $15 voucher to purchase books from their school library. The program honors the legacy of Diana Floyd, former Board Chair of PEP, and her passion for education and literacy.

We’re proud to support this meaningful initiative. It’s an honor to play a small part in encouraging young readers and supporting literacy throughout Aiken County!
