Better Together
Dear AnMed Family,
On behalf of the employee giving campaign committee, we are excited to announce our campaign in September 2023 — Better Together! This year we are combining the AnMed and United Way campaigns and hope you will support this initiative that impacts our teammates, patients and broader community. Our goal this year is to exceed 60% teammate participation through meaningful gifts. We hope you will be a part of helping us transform our community.
Any teammate supporting at $10 per pay period or $260 per year will receive our campaign t-shirt! If you are already a donor at this level — thank you! In the coming weeks you will receive your t-shirt from a member of our committee or your department to visually demonstrate your support.
Employee Giving Form
To donate, please fill out this form electronically or print and bring to the AnMed Foundation office located at the Medical Center.
If you prefer to drop off your support in person, there is a box next to the Foundation Office as you exit Reflections Cafe at the Medical Center. If your office is not located on the main campus, please put your completed form in interoffice mail to the AnMed Foundation for processing.
If you would like to make a one time gift via debit or credit card, please do so here.

Homeland Park & Varennes School Partnerships
Our children are our community’s most valuable assets so United Way and the Rotary Club of Anderson have teamed up to invest in the children of Homeland Park Primary School & Varennes Elementary School to increase their desire for learning and boost the morale of those helping them to learn in these two schools. We will make a positive change in our community when we make positive changes in our children!
Minority Health Coalition
Two years ago, United Way’s African American Leadership Society re-established a Minority Health Coalition in Anderson County to partner with AnMed, health care workers, other community organizations and agencies to help bridge the gap in health disparities in our minority population.
United Way/AnMed Community Garden
With seed money provided by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, United Way has teamed up with AnMed to create the Brian White Community Garden at the AnMed North Campus. To create a healthier community this garden will help teach residents to plant, harvest and prepare fresh vegetables.
Weekend Snack Pack
Through the Weekend Snackpack program, teachers and counselors at elementary schools in Anderson County, Districts 1-5, identify children who are at the great risk of falling into the Weekend meal gap. The program provides children in need with meals to take home on Fridays. Each enrolled child receives a bag of kid-friendly, ready-to-eat foods on Fridays to take home for the weekend. Children return to school on Monday, well-fed and ready to learn.
