Menasha Corporation today announced a commitment of $1 million over the next two years to support recovery efforts following the devastating tornado that impacted communities across the Fox Valley region.
As an initial step, Menasha Corporation will contribute $250,000 to the Community Response Fund, a collaborative effort supporting both immediate assistance and long-term recovery for individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations affected by the storm. The Community Response Fund is administered through a partnership of local philanthropic organizations dedicated to coordinating community recovery efforts.
The remaining commitment will be distributed over the next two years to support ongoing recovery, rebuilding, and community resilience initiatives across the region.
“Menasha Corporation has called the Fox Valley home for nearly 180 years, and our connection to this community runs deep,” said Chris Drees, President and Chief Executive Officer of Menasha Corporation. “The recent tornado left a lasting impact on many of our neighbors, friends, employees, and local businesses. While the immediate response has been inspiring, we recognize that recovery will take time. We are committed to standing alongside our community, helping address urgent needs today while supporting the long-term rebuilding efforts that will be required in the months and years ahead.”
Drees added, “Throughout our history, Menasha Corporation has been strengthened by the communities we serve. This commitment reflects our belief that when our community faces challenges, we have a responsibility to come together, support one another, and help build a stronger future.”
Menasha Corporation’s contribution is part of the company’s broader commitment to supporting the wellbeing and resilience of the communities where its employees live and work.
