STATE INFORMATION
Georgia is the 24th largest state in the U.S. and borders Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida. The area was founded in 1733 as a British colony and is nicknamed the Peach State because of its reputation for growing high quality peaches. Georgia is known for its stunning landscape, the place where Coca-Cola was invented, its hot humid weather and Southern hospitality. There are many ways to help serve the community and if you've volunteered in Georgia, we’d love to hear about your experience.
