Cleveland, Ohio – Embracing the festive season with generosity, Millcraft continues its annual tradition of delivering annual donation checks to eight designated non-profit organizations. These funds are the outcome of the ongoing successful Buy & Give copy paper purchasing program. From its establishment in 2015 through the culmination of Millcraft's fiscal year in 2023, Buy & Give has amassed a substantial impact, contributing nearly $770,000 to support the vital work of charitable organizations serving Midwest communities.

Millcraft’s Buy & Give initiative empowers businesses to contribute to local charities with each purchase of Buy & Give brand office paper. A donation of $1 is made to the program for every carton of paper bought. Millcraft collaborates with Domtar, a global leader in fiber-based products, to promote Buy & Give multi-purpose paper across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

"Buy & Give, conceived as a simple idea to leverage everyday copy paper for local charitable giving, has evolved into a cornerstone of Millcraft's mission—to meaningfully impact the communities in which we operate daily. Our entire team is dedicated to supporting this cause," emphasizes Millcraft President and CEO Travis Mlakar. "Being able to contribute in a modest yet significant way to these remarkable organizations is a source of collective pride for all of us."

John Milazo, Vice President of Merchant Sales at Domtar, emphasizes the connection: "Millcraft's steadfast dedication to local communities and their hands-on support for those in need perfectly mirrors Domtar’s core values and principles."
