MENASHA CORPORATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES
DONATION TO FRESNO COMMUNITY FOOD BANK
April 3, 2007, NEENAH, WI – The Menasha Corporation Foundation today announced the donation of
$2,500 to the Community Food Bank in Fresno. The donation is being made on behalf of its
ORBIS Container Services employees in Fresno, a division of one of Menasha Corporation’s four
companies, ORBIS Corporation.
“We are proud to support the Community Food Bank and applaud its efforts to provide
assistance to more than 45,000 individuals in the Central Valley each week as well as its advocacy
to end hunger in the community,” said Ralph L. Evans, Foundation president. “The donation
helps advance the Foundation’s philanthropic efforts to help people meet basic food needs and end
hunger.”
Each year the Foundation provides funding to the individual locations of the Corporation’s
four operating companies as a means of encouraging and supporting employee efforts to improve their
communities. Employee Community Action Teams work with organizations to understand the varying
needs of citizens and, on a facility-by-facility basis, match resources with those needs. The
Foundation recognizes the leadership and commitment its employees bring to understanding community
needs and serving others.
