Paper Transport pays it forward
A Community-Based Employer
Giving back to the community is something that Paper Transport has been involved in since the year the company was founded. Paper Transport's community outreach efforts have always been focused on supporting organizations that provide services and resources directly to families and individuals, making sure they have the things they need to survive. In the beginning, this meant donating to organizations like Paul’s Pantry and the Salvation Army near company headquarters in Wisconsin. Today, we’ve been given the opportunity to give back to people in other communities with the addition of new Paper Transport park locations/terminals throughout the Midwest and Southern United States. Our goal is to help people in the communities where we’re located. Together, we can keep everyone moving forward in the right direction.
NEW Community Shelter
The NEW Community Shelter is the only homeless shelter in Brown County open year-round that provides refuge to homeless men and women. PTI gives their time and support to the shelter by covering a meal each month!
Girl Scouts of America
The Paper Transport team partners with Michelin Tires to host local Girl Scouts for the Trucks Are For Girls Event. The purpose is to teach them more about jobs for women in the transportation industry. Girls who participate earn a STEM and Women in Trucking Badge.
Shop with a Cop
Elementary students nominated by their school counselors to join an officer or department employee for breakfast, shopping, and gift wrapping on a Saturday morning in December. Paper Transport sponsored five kids this year.
House of Hope
House of Hope Green Bay opens doors to stability, safety, and self-sufficiency for youth and their children experiencing homelessness. They were recently on a mission to collect 50,000 diapers, and PTI staff contributed 6,496 diapers in support.
Paul’s Pantry
Paul’s Pantry is a local emergency food pantry that offers food, shelter, utilities, and other necessities for those in need in Northeastern Wisconsin. PTI participates in “Penny Wars” to raise money for the organization.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
BBBS is a non-profit organization that matches adult volunteers with children in need of positive role models. This summer, we sponsored a hole at their annual charity golf outing, which raised a total of $73,000 this year.
