Thoughtful Thanks from
Georgia’s Guyton Elementary

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, hundreds of Sumter Utilities linemen were deployed all along the East and Gulf coasts to support customers in restoring power. These brave crews left their families and homes to go live in man camps while they worked to clear debris, change out poles and get the power back on for the numerous affected communities.

1,060 Sumter employees provided 250,000 man hours to support the restoration efforts, and it didn’t go unnoticed! Kindergarten through 5th grade students at Guyton Elementary in Guyton, Georgia took time this fall to learn about the role of linemen and other emergency workers in their art class. They recognized the sacrifice that our crews made, and shared dozens of cards and kind words with us via the mail.

Thank you, Guyton Elementary! We are so thankful for your support.
