About the Union County Sheriff's Foundation

Tucked into the mountains of north Georgia, Union County is the kind of place where neighbors still know each other by name, a wave from a passing truck is a given, and folks show up for one another when it matters most. The Union County Sheriff's Foundation exists to protect and nurture exactly that. Working hand in hand with our Sheriff's Office, we pour our hearts into the people and programs that keep our small community strong — looking after our seniors, guiding our young people toward bright futures, and helping families stay safe and connected. There's a quiet beauty in a town this close-knit, and we're dedicated to preserving it: one neighbor, one classroom, and one act of service at a time. Because around here, taking care of each other isn't just something we do — it's who we are.

Give a little & change a lot

Strong communities are built by the neighbors who invest in them — and that includes our local businesses. By partnering with the Union County Sheriff's Foundation, your company helps fund the programs that keep our seniors safe, guide our young people, and protect families across Union County. It's a meaningful way to give back to the community your business calls home, make an impact bigger than any single gift, and stand alongside the companies helping our county thrive.

Let's Work Together!

Your Donations At Work: Body Cameras for UCSD Deputies

Thanks to donations from local citizens through the LESS Crime Act, the Union County Sheriff’s Foundation was able to purchase body cameras for deputies with the Union County Sheriff’s Office. Pictured on Deputy Lilly Carpenter, the body cameras help protect both law enforcement officers and the public by providing an objective record of interactions and incidents.

The mission of the Union County Sheriff’s Foundation is to enhance the community and
help keep Union County one of the best places to live in Georgia. Through the LESS Crime Act, a Georgia program that provides taxpayers with a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit, businesses and individuals can choose to direct a portion of their Georgia tax dollars to support their local sheriff’s office. Taxpayers receive a tax credit while their contributions go directly toward improving public safety in their community.

Funds received through the LESS Crime Act can be used to purchase equipment, provide specialized training for deputies, support K-9 programs, maintain equipment, and meet other law enforcement needs. The program is endorsed by Sheriff Shawn Dyer.
