Newcomers Welcome Service - Welcoming Newcomers for over 50 years.For decades, The Greeting Service has welcomed Valdosta newcomers with traditional southern hospitality–a personal home visit and a folder brimming with information about schools, churches, cultural opportunities, and a bag chock full of coupons and goodies.

The Greeting Service has expanded its borders to include Adel, Hahira, Lakeland Lake Park, Moody Air Force Base, Nashville, Quitman, and Tifton and now publishes an annual community resource guide acquainting newcomers with relocation information including job opportunities and housing.

The hub of a newly designated metropolitan statistical area, Valdosta’s leading employers are South Georgia Medical Center and Valdosta State University, both located in the heart of town while Smith Northview Hospital and Valdosta Technical College are located in the northern portion of Lowndes County.

The schools in the City of Valdosta and Lowndes County are comprised of two systems, Valdosta City Schools and Lowndes County Schools, serving approximately 17,000 area students.

Newcomers will enjoy the bounty of shopping choices at Colonial Mall Valdosta, Lake Park Factory Stores (outlet mall) and the many quaint downtown shops in the region. Entertainment varies from educational, at The Georgia Agrirama in Tifton, a living history museum, to the fun and exciting Wild Adventures theme park. For a scenic excursion, Banks Lake Wildlife National Wildlife Refuge offers fishing, boating and hiking.

We look forward to sharing all the fun and exciting things that Valdosta and the surrounding communities have to offer and hope you enjoy discovering a new place to call home.
