摘要

International Paper is taking action to address hunger and meet critical community needs during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. The world's leading producer of renewable, fibre-based packaging, pulp and paper has committed to donating hundreds of thousands of corrugated boxes to Feeding America and other regional community partners.Through a donation of more than 300,000 boxes, International Paper is helping Feeding America and their network of food banks across the United States respond to families in need. During the pandemic, the organization is partnering with school districts and local government agencies to ensure that the 22 million children who rely on school meals have access to food outside of the classroom, among other actions. Boxes are critical to their ability to transport and store food. In the company headquarters' backyard in Memphis, Feeding America network member Mid-South Food Bank will receive 50,000 International Paper boxes, supporting the organization's ability to respond to food insecurity in its 31 -county service region during the pandemic.
