With news of school closures and other community concerns due to COVID-19, the International Paper team in Savannah, GA donated nearly 2,000 boxes to local food bank Second Harvest that will support school meal distributions.
For many students, school-provided breakfast and lunch serves as their only meals of the day. To ensure students continue to receive the nutrition they need, the food bank is using the boxes to deliver food supplies to district students.
“We understand that right now the need and demand for our products is greater than ever,” said Jay Wilson, mill manager, International Paper. “The boxes we provide are an essential resource to help our local community address food insecurity and get the necessary supplies to our children and their families.”
This donation is part of International Paper’s support of the Feeding America network of food banks.
