MARCELINE, Mo., Oct. 4, 2022 — In celebration of the company’s 85th anniversary and their commitment to literacy, Walsworth is making $2,500 donations to schools and literacy programs near each of its six locations.

“Growing up in a printing family, it was a given that reading materials were always readily available. By giving back to our communities, we hope to provide the same opportunity to young readers in the area,” President Don Walsworth said. “As a company that prints numerous yearbooks, textbooks and other educational materials, the choice to support programs that will allow students to appreciate those materials was clear.”

The following schools and literacy program will each receive $2,500 in the month of October.
