PIM Paper Drive

For forty-six years, Printing Industry Midwest (PIM) along with our current Paper Drive partner and host, Lindenmeyr Munroe, has helped lessen the burden teachers bare for providing educational materials by providing them with free paper.

Each year, PIM enlists our printing and associate members to go through their warehouse and identify any obsolete, overstocked or leftover paper and donate it. White copier paper, full-sized sheets of every weight and color, pressure-sensitive sheets, large format, foam core, envelopes and even butt rolls are graciously donated by our members. PIM members deliver their surplus paper to Lindenmeyr Munroe, located in Fridley, MN. For the forth year in a row, Lindenmeyr Munroe staff has volunteered their time and resources to help make this event seamless.

Teachers have two hours to collect paper as they need and they utilize every second of it. They bring extra hands such their spouses, friends or family members to help them pile paper on carts, wagons, suitcases and dollies. Then they pack their cars, vans, trucks, U-Hauls and trailers with paper.

PIM cannot thank our members enough for their donations and of course thank you to the teachers for everything they do for our children.

Thank you to our Paper Drive host & partner
