NORTH AUGUSTA, SC – The CSRA is uniting to bring safe water to hundreds of men, women, and children across the world. Local schools, churches, businesses, and individuals are putting their feet into action by raising awareness, raising money, and walking for water.

The CSRA Walk for Water 2022 will bring together teams of participants from both sides of the Savannah River and from all walks of life, as we boldly battle the global water crisis which affects 2.1 billion people around the world. Together, we can make a real difference by bringing safe water to people in need. Register or donate today. The walk starts at 9 AM (gates open at 8 AM).
Walk will take place RAIN or SHINE.

Event Details

Who: Teams and Individuals throughout the CSRA are invited to participate in the CSRA Walk for Water

When: Saturday, November 12th, 2022

What: 2022 #CSRAWalk4Water

Where: SRP Park, 187 Railroad Ave, North Augusta, SC 29841

Why: Hundreds will rally together to bring hope to those who lack access to safe water by participating in the 4th annual CSRA Walk for Water. The CSRA Walk for Water encourages participants to carry buckets along the three-mile route to simulate the daily trek millions of people make to collect water in developing countries. Start and finish at SRP Park, North Augusta, SC. The route of the Walk will cross the 13th Street Bridge. Then via Riverwalk, participants will proceed to 6th Street, then to St. Paul’s Church.

Impact: In many areas of the globe, women and children spend 2-3 hours walking to collect water every day. In most cases, their walk is one to four miles, and the water they collect is not safe for drinking. At the 2021 CSRA Walk for Water, we will walk in honor of our neighbors worldwide who walk to collect water every day and raise funds to bring safe, clean water to communities around the world in a sustainable way.

Woodpeckers Announce Sponsorship of The Big Tiny Project

August 26, 2022

Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The Fayetteville Woodpeckers are sponsoring The Big Tiny Project, an initiative to support homeless and at-risk veterans. The Big Tiny Project, created by the Fayetteville-based nonprofit Off-Road Outreach, is a planned tiny home community designed to be a bridge between being on the street and permanent housing. All services will be free of charge to veterans.

The Woodpeckers Foundation and Community Leaders Program donated $10,000 to The Big Tiny Project to cover the renovation of three 290-square-foot tiny homes that will house homeless and at- risk veterans. Other sponsors of The Big Tiny Project include Lowe’s, Wells Fargo, the All-Veteran Group, U.S. Veterans Corps, Window World and ServiceSource.

The purpose of The Big Tiny Project is to provide up to 180 days of bridge housing to homeless and at- risk veterans. The Big Tiny Project will provide on-site support for navigating benefits, identification services, mental and physical health referrals, financial counseling and employment. In addition, veterans can utilize a food pantry, community garden and transportation services. The project is set to be completed by the start of 2023.

“We are incredibly thankful to the Woodpeckers Foundation for their support of The Big Tiny Project,” said Stacey Buckner, the director and founder of Off-Road Outreach. “This bridge housing program is long overdue in Fayetteville and will satisfy an immediate need. We can’t wait to show the impact this will have on our veterans.”
