GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A business operating in the “Toilet Paper Capital of the World” is helping feed local children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Green Bay Print Shop will be selling t-shirts featuring graphics of toilet paper on them.
All proceeds will go to the Green Bay Area Public School District for its Free Meals for Children program which is also open to non-district children.
Green Bay Print Shop says while panic buyers emptying store shelves of toilet paper in the “Toilet Paper Capital of the World” is humorous, the effects of COVID-19 are not.
The shirts cost between $10 to $25, plus shipping. Each purchase also comes with a printed roll of toilet paper.
According to the print shop’s website, among the city’s first paper mills, Northern Paper Company offered the first splinter-free toilet paper in the early 1930’s. The presence of the paper industry helped Green Bay avoid the worst effects of the Great Depression.
