Pamela Walker of Dublin, GA.�was the winner of the iPad 3 drawing from
Georgia United Credit Unions spring CAN HUNGER food drive! �It was exciting to have 31,839 cans donated from among all 16 Georgia Uniteds branches, and more importantly, Georgia Uniteds CAN HUNGER food drive raised more than 15 tons of food to benefit local food pantries in our communities!� Thanks to donations by members like Pamela Georgia United collected almost DOUBLE our original goal amount and our Dublin branch collected 4,018 cans to donate locally to the Laurens Baptist Association Ministry Center and Laurens County DFCS!
Georgia United used the following metrics to calculate donations: One 16 oz. can or box = 1 lb.; $1.00 donation= 1 lb.; 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. This is the second year that Georgia Uniteds 16 branches held a spring food drive and they beat last years total of 9.1 tons (18,375) by an impressive 6 tons!�
Additional cash donations were also accepted and have been distributed to the designated food banks. As an added incentive, all members received one entry per item donated in a drawing for an iPad. The iPad drawing from among all entries took place on April 5 and the winner was Pamela Walker of Dublin, Georgia.
