How to Send a Food Package Through Union Supply (What Families Should Know)

The Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) allows Union Supply to deliver food-item packages to inmates at State Prisons, Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs), and Probation Detention Centers. That's the policy families typically rely on - but you should still confirm the rules for the specific facility where your loved one is held.

When you’re checking with the jail, it helps to have the facility details in front of you. Butts County Jail’s street address is 835 Ernest Biles Drive, Jackson, GA 30233.

This step matters because GDC's Union Supply guidance covers State Prisons, ITFs, and Probation Detention Centers. Butts County is a county facility. Call or check with Butts County Detention Center to confirm they accept Union Supply food packages for the person you're sending to - before you spend money on an order.

• ✓ Order by mail: Union Supply, 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421, P.O. Box 619059, Dallas, TX 75261-9059
• ✓ Order by phone: 1-562-361-5719 or toll-free 1-855-247-0563
• ✓ Order by fax: 1-310-603-1188

Once you've confirmed the facility accepts Union Supply packages, choose whichever ordering method works best for you - mail, phone, or fax. Verify first. It's the easiest way to avoid placing an order that can't be delivered.

Every order includes a $2.95 shipping and handling fee, and that charge is non-refundable. Factor it into your total so there aren't any surprises at checkout.

GDC sets limits on what you can send through Union Supply, depending on facility type. State Prisons and ITFs allow up to $100 per offender or 15 lbs. per package - whichever you hit first. Probation Detention Centers cap packages at $50 per offender or 7 lbs. Stay under these limits. Exceeding them can cause delays, and you don't want to pay for items that won't make it through.
