Domtar Corporation (NYSE:UFS) (TSX:UFS) today announced that it joined forces with the Student Conservation Association (SCA) in a conservation project to revitalize the Community Kitchen of Bennettsville. More than 80 employees from our Bennettsville, S.C. paper mill and Tatum, S.C. converting facility transformed the Community Kitchen's courtyard through construction and installation of new picnic tables, porch swings, benches, shade sails and storage bins. The volunteers also created planters with native flowers and bushes, installed solar lighting, as well as sleeping benches and mats for the homeless. Domtar makes a wide variety of everyday products from sustainable wood fiber, and it is one of the world's largest producers of uncoated freesheet paper, as well as an innovator in absorbent technology. The company's Bennettsville paper mill employs 348 people and the Tatum converting facility employs 33 people in the community.

"Caring is one of Domtar's core values—caring for our employees, customers, and the communities we serve," said Domtar corporate responsibility manager, Heather Alverson Stowe. "Sustainability is one of Domtar's community investment focus areas, which is why we lead community conservation projects with non-profit partners like the Student Conservation Association that engage employees, benefit our neighbors, and enrich our environment."

"This was the most fantastic event we have ever had," said Roger Griggs, founder and owner of the Community Kitchen. "We are so grateful to Domtar and all of the volunteers who came together for this project. The work that was done will make a huge difference in this community." The Community Kitchen of Bennettsville offers food, clothing and housing for less fortunate citizens of the community. It serves over 150 lunches, Monday through Friday, to people in need in the local community.
