How to Send a Food Package to Someone at Calhoun State Prison (Union Supply)
Sending a food package to someone at Calhoun State Prison means going through the Georgia Department of Corrections' approved package program. Once you know where to get the order form and how to place your order, the process is straightforward—just stay within the limits.
For Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) state prisons like Calhoun State Prison, food packages go through Union Supply. You'll use official order forms and item lists from the Georgia Inmate Package website, which has a complete list of pre-approved food items.
Here's the key: the order form isn't just a menu - it's the approved list. Stick to items on the form and order through approved channels, and you're good. That's the system GDC has set up for sending food packages to Calhoun State Prison.
Ordering Channels
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Order by phone (toll-free): 1-855-247-0563
- ✓ Order by fax: 1-310-603-1188
Note: Use the exact Union Supply mailing address, phone numbers, and fax number listed above when you place your order so it routes correctly.
Every order includes a $2.95 shipping and handling fee - and it's non-refundable. Factor that into your total before you check out.
GDC caps packages for state prisons at $100 per offender or 15 lbs. - whichever you hit first. So if your cart is under $100 but the weight reaches 15 lbs., you're at the limit. Same thing if you hit $100 before reaching 15 lbs.
One thing that catches people off guard: consolidation. If multiple orders are placed for the same offender, Union Supply combines them into one package. That combined package still can't exceed $100 or 15 lbs. Even if each order seems small, the total can hit the cap once everything's merged.
Practical Tips Pitfalls
- ✓ Pull the current order form from the Georgia Inmate Package website so you’re using the up-to-date list of pre-approved items.
- ✓ Double-check the offender’s name and GDC number on the order form before you submit anything.
- ✓ If you order by mail, write the Union Supply address exactly as provided.
- ✓ If you order by phone, use 1-562-361-5719 or the toll-free line 1-855-247-0563.
- ✓ If you order by fax, send it to 1-310-603-1188.
Coordinating with other family members? Talk first. Multiple orders can get consolidated into one package, which might push you toward the weight or item limits. Also keep in mind: every order includes a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling fee.
Watch out: Multiple orders for the same offender will be consolidated into one package, and that combined package still has to stay under $100 or 15 lbs. per package (whichever comes first).
