Before You Send That Package: Union Supply Order Rules and Limits for Coffee Correctional Institute
Sending a food package through Union Supply to someone at Coffee Correctional Institute is pretty simple—as long as you follow Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) limits and ordering rules. Use this guide as a quick pre-order checklist so your package doesn't get rejected or merged with another order.
GDC authorizes Union Supply to handle food package orders for people in state prisons and Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs). Since Coffee Correctional Institute falls under this program, you'll order through Union Supply using their approved item list.
Tip: Download the PDF version of the GDC food package program info. Having it saved means you can quickly check ordering details and keep records.
For GDC State Prisons and ITFs, packages are capped at $100 per offender or 15 lbs. - whichever you hit first. You might reach the weight limit before the dollar limit (or vice versa), but once you hit either cap, that's your ceiling.
Probation Detention Centers have lower limits: $50 per offender or 7 lbs. per package, whichever comes first. If your loved one transfers between facility types, verify which limit applies before ordering again.
Fee: Union Supply adds a $2.95 shipping and handling charge to every order, and it’s non-refundable.
Place multiple orders for the same person? Union Supply will combine them into one package. The merged shipment still can't exceed GDC limits, so splitting orders into smaller batches won't increase what gets delivered - everything just gets bundled together under the same caps.
To order by mail, send your completed form to: Union Supply, 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421, P.O. Box 619059, Dallas, TX 75261-9059. This works well if you prefer paper records - just fill everything out clearly to avoid processing delays.
Prefer to order by phone? Call 1-562-361-5719, or use the toll-free line at 1-855-247-0563. Phone orders let you confirm details in real time, which helps if you're trying to stay under the spending and weight limits.
For fax orders, send to 1-310-603-1188. Faxing gets your paper order in faster than mail if you're short on time.
Deadlines are strict: Union Supply won't accept orders received after the program cutoff. Planning around a holiday or special occasion? Build in extra time so your order arrives before the deadline.
Plan ahead: Multiple orders get consolidated into one package that still must stay under GDC limits. Orders received after the deadline won't be accepted - so last-minute add-ons may not make it through.
GDC offers a downloadable PDF with the full food package program details, including Union Supply ordering info. Print it or save it to your phone - having it handy makes double-checking limits, fees, and instructions much easier.
