The owners of Wawa's sawmill are touting support for its local communities - including Wawa.
Louisiana-Pacific says it - and its LP Foundation - increased annual giving over 2024, with more than $1.3-million awarded to more than 100 initiatives "in the communities...team members call home", including $10,000 donated in Wawa, split between the Children's Aid Society of Algoma, the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation, the Michipicoten Volunteer Firefighters, and the Regional Employment Help Centre, all of whom were supported by the Foundation's Community Grants program, one of five giving programs it offers.
The non-profit arm of LP, the foundation focuses its giving on affordable housing, environmental stewardship, and future workforce development.
