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.
