PIM Paper Drive
For forty-eight years, Printing Industry Midwest (PIM), together with our valued Paper Drive partner and host Lindenmeyr Munroe, has proudly supported educators by helping to ease the burden of sourcing classroom materials. Through the annual PIM Paper Drive, teachers receive much-needed paper—entirely free of charge.
Each year, PIM calls on its members to identify and donate obsolete, overstocked, or surplus paper from their warehouses. These generous contributions include white copier paper, full-sized sheets of various weights and colors, pressure-sensitive sheets, large format paper, foam core, envelopes, and even butt rolls. Donations are delivered to Lindenmeyr Munroe’s Fridley, MN location, where, for the fifth consecutive year, their dedicated staff has volunteered their time and resources to ensure the event runs smoothly.
Teachers are given a two-hour window to gather as much paper as they need—and they make the most of every minute. Many arrive with extra help, bringing spouses, friends, or family members to assist in loading carts, wagons, suitcases, and dollies. They leave with their vehicles fully packed with materials that will directly support their classrooms.
PIM extends its deepest thanks to all participating members for their continued generosity. And to the teachers—thank you for your tireless dedication to educating and inspiring the next generation.
