River City Bank of Blairsville is lacing up for its annual back-to-school shoe event, which is when the bank partners with Union County Family Connection to provide free new shoes to Union County children in the days before classes begin each August.
But because the need is so great, River City once again needs the community’s help to make the biggest impact possible. Right now, the bank is in the middle of its 2026 Shoe Drive that runs April 1-May 29, with the donation drop-off location at 206 Hwy 515 E in Blairsville.
