CHARITABLE PRINTING — LENDING A PRESS

Elbridge estimates the company donates between $100,000 and $150,000 in gratis and reduced printing services. Virtually every worthwhile cause is supported, including the Tennessee Technical Center, to which Mimeo also donated a Xerox DocuTech.

Not every printer has the resources to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars in print services per year, but many enjoy providing discounted jobs and arranging trades in exchange for future good will considerations. A2Z Printing, of Pacheco, CA, has aided causes such as the Taylor Family Foundation—which provides aid and comfort to children in northern California with life-threatening diseases and disabilities.
