VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - Due to the success of their 2022 Annual Campaign, Greater Valdosta United Way board members have distributed an additional $25,000 to eight of their partnered non-profits. Multiple research platforms say Georgia is ranked within the top 10 states experiencing a homelessness problem in America. 'With the increase of individuals and families that have been contacting us, or coming into the shelter, we're staying full more often,' Yurshema Flanders, Lowndes Associated Ministries to People (LAMP) executive director, said.
