Fusing traditional values with modern conveniences, Brannen Ford has served as far more than a dealership to the people of Unadilla and Middle Georgia; we have been a neighbor, a supporter and an active partner in the causes and organizations that make this region a great place to live. Our commitment to community involvement is not something that started recently -- it is built into the very foundation of who we are.
From local schools and youth programs to veterans organizations, civic clubs and annual community traditions, Brannen Ford invests in the people and initiatives that shape life in Unadilla and the surrounding area. Here's a look at some of the organizations and causes we are proud to support.
Supporting Local Youth & Education
Brannen Ford believes that investing in young people is one of the most important things a local business can do. We are proud supporters of Veterans High School Cheer Boosters and the Veterans Band Boosters, helping fund the programs and activities that give student athletes and performers the resources they need to thrive.
We also support the Houston County High School Band Boosters and Fullington Academy in Pinehurst, recognizing that extracurricular programs across the region deserve the backing of local businesses that care about student success.
Through the Dooly County Extension 4-H Youth Development program, we support hands-on learning experiences that build leadership and life skills in young people across Dooly County. And through the Kings Chapel Elementary School community, we work to strengthen the educational foundation for local families.
Literacy, Libraries & Summer Reading
A community that reads together grows together. Brannen Ford is a proud supporter of the Elizabeth Harris Library, a beloved local resource that connects Unadilla-area residents with books, programs and community connection.
We also support Georgia's Vacation Reading Program through the Georgia Public Library Service, helping keep young readers engaged and learning throughout the summer months -- an investment in literacy that pays dividends for our entire region.
Honoring Veterans & Supporting Public Safety
Brannen Ford has deep respect for the men and women who serve in uniform and the agencies that protect our communities every day. We proudly support the Crisp County Warrior Fund, which provides vital resources for wounded veterans and their families in our region.
We are also supporters of Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Homes, an organization that provides safe, stable homes for at-risk youth across Georgia -- a cause that reflects our belief in giving every child a fair start. Our relationship with the Georgia State Patrol further underscores our commitment to the safety and well-being of the communities we serve.
Faith, Civic Life & Community Organizations
Brannen Ford is rooted in the same community fabric as the organizations that hold Unadilla together. We are supporters of Unadilla Methodist Church, a cornerstone of faith and fellowship in our hometown.
On the civic side, we are proud members of the Perry Rotary Club, which brings together business and community leaders to tackle local challenges and support meaningful causes. We also support the Haseya Women's Club and the Mahala Club of Perry, two organizations that have long served as pillars of civic engagement and community service in Middle Georgia.
Local Business & Economic Community
Brannen Ford understands that a thriving local economy benefits everyone. We actively support the Dooly County Chamber of Commerce, which works to strengthen the business climate across our region and connect local entrepreneurs and organizations. Our partnership with the City of Unadilla reflects our commitment to the civic health and future of our hometown.
Celebrating Georgia's Traditions
No page about Unadilla community involvement would be complete without a nod to the Big Pig Jig -- Georgia's Official Barbecue Cooking Championship, born in nearby Vienna. Brannen Ford is proud to be part of this beloved annual tradition that draws visitors from across the state and puts Dooly County on the map in the best possible way.
We are also proud supporters of the National Wild Turkey Federation, an organization that combines conservation, hunting heritage and community values in ways that resonate deeply with the rural Georgia culture we call home.
Proud to Serve Unadilla and Middle Georgia
The organizations listed above represent just a portion of the ways Brannen Ford gives back to the communities that have supported this family businessfor over 70 years. From Unadilla and Dooly County to Perry, Fort Valley, Vienna and across Middle Georgia, our commitment to community is the same commitment that drives us to provide outstanding Ford sales and service every single day.
If your organization is interested in partnering with Brannen Ford, we invite you to reach out. We are always looking for new ways to support the people and causes that make this corner of Georgia special.
