every family in the community has access to diapers when they need
them,” said Michelle Old, founder of the Diaper Bank of North
Carolina. “Because of Domtar’s generosity and commitment , we are
able to work with our community partners to identify gaps in the
community and come up with a plan to fill those gaps.”

organizations, such as the DBNC.
