“Georgia-Pacific and the Foley Cellulose mill are proud to support the work and mission of our local Boys & Girls Club. We value the tireless commitment of the staff and volunteers who work with our young people, especially those in need, to help them become productive and responsible adults. The benefits of their work with the youth in our community can be seen year after year,” said Public Affairs Manager Scott Mixon.

Thank you Georgia Pacific.”
