& Community
Lend a Hand
Union County is a community
that “walks the talk” when it
comes to Southern hospitality
and service — whether it’s volunteering
with a charitable organization
or participating in one of
the many local clubs and groups.
The “big three” service clubs
are well represented. The Union
County Rotary Club meets for
lunch weekly, and the Union
County Lions Club has been
around since 1966. Blairsville
Kiwanis Club serves the local
community through various service projects.
Masons meet regularly at Allegheny Masonic Lodge.
And several veterans’ groups can be found in the area,
including DAV, the American Legion and VFW. And
Blairsville is home to several Cub Scout and Boy Scout
organizations.
You can swing a hammer with Habitat for Humanity,
or help out with the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. Volunteers
are always needed at organizations like Hope
House, S.A.F.E., NAMI Georgia, PFLAG Blairsville,
Enotah CASA, Open Arms of Blue Ridge, Georgia
Mountains Hospice, Union County Family Connection
and Joshua’s Warriors.

Many local professionals are members of the Mountain
Networking Referral Group, Tri-State Business
Women and Friends of the Union County Library. And
pet lovers are always needed to help out at Castoff Pet
Rescue, The Humane Society’s Mountain Shelter and
the Whiskers Project.
You’ll find a big part of what makes Blairsville-Union
County so special is the generous spirit of the people
who selflessly give of their time, talents and resources —
as well as the willingness of the community to embrace
new faces and encourage their abilities. For more service
