Worzalla, an employee-owned book printer specializing in printing high-quality children’s books, cookbooks, and hard-cover best sellers, recently concluded the holiday season with multiple charitable endeavors. As a business with more than 125 years of history in Portage County, Worzalla consistently looks for opportunities to give back to the community. “This past holiday season, Worzalla associates stepped up in a big way to help those in need, and we were happy to see the greater community support our efforts as well,” said Brianne Petruzalek, Vice President of Human Resources at Worzalla. “We thank everyone involved for helping us to make a positive impact in our community.” In December, Worzalla set up a Community Giving Tree and set up a raffle prize giveaway to encourage the community to contribute donations for the Salvation Army. The drive was successful in collecting hundreds of food items, clothing, household items, and other in-demand items for those in need in Portage County.
