Ordering a Food Package for an Inmate (Union Supply) — What Gilmer County Families Should Know
Before placing an order, confirm that Union Supply is the package vendor for the facility where your loved one is housed. In Georgia, vendor programs vary by facility - Riverbend Private Prison, for instance, uses Access Securepak instead of Union Supply until further notice. Your safest first step: call Gilmer County Detention Center directly to verify which package program they accept and whether food packages go through Union Supply or another vendor.
Reminder: Confirm the approved package vendor with Gilmer County Detention Center before you spend money on an order.
If Gilmer County Detention Center accepts Union Supply packages, you can order by mail. Send orders to: Union Supply, 2500 Regent Blvd Dept. 421, P.O. Box 619059, Dallas, TX 75261-9059.
Prefer to order by phone? Call Union Supply at 1-562-361-5719, or use the toll-free number 1-855-247-0563.
Fax works too - send orders to 1-310-603-1188.
Tip: Whichever method you choose, have the incarcerated person's full name, ID number, and facility name ready so the order gets credited correctly. Not sure about payment or required details? Confirm with Union Supply before submitting.
Every Union Supply order includes a $2.95 shipping and handling charge. This fee is non-refundable.
Placing multiple orders for the same person? They'll be combined into one package - not delivered separately. The final package still can't exceed the applicable spending and weight limits.
For Georgia Department of Corrections State Prisons and ITFs, the limit is $100 per offender or 15 lbs. per package - whichever you hit first.
Probation Detention Centers have stricter limits: $50 per offender or 7 lbs. per package - whichever comes first.
Watch the "first limit reached" rule: Both the dollar cap and weight cap apply, and your order stops at whichever one you hit first. Since limits vary by facility type, confirm whether Gilmer County Detention Center falls under State Prison/ITF limits or Probation Detention Center limits.
Vendor exceptions happen, even within Georgia. Riverbend Private Prison uses Access Securepak instead of Union Supply until further notice. If you're ordering for someone connected to Gilmer County, take a minute to confirm the current vendor and package rules for the exact facility where they're housed.
