Charity Lawson is from Columbus, GA

During The Bachelor Season 27 Week 8, Zach Shallcross visited Charity in her hometown of Columbus, GA. There Zach met Charity’s parents, siblings, and many of her friends. Later the pair danced and listened to music at a local bar.

The date went well for Charity and Zach, despite the fact that it was an incredibly emotional day. However, Charity did not receive a rose after hometowns. The child and family therapist teared up while saying her goodbyes to Zach. Nevertheless, she left the show gracefully.
