Dow Employees Generous with Toys to Needy Children

Employees and contract employees with Dow’s Louisiana Operations donated hundreds of toys for needy children during this year’s annual toy drive. Participants filled 25 barrels with toys and collected approximately 45 bikes of various sizes.  Participants also contributed over $3,400 in monetary donations, which will be used to purchase new toys as well.

Needy families that will receive toys were identified by Santa’s Helpers in West Baton Rouge Parish, in partnership with the parish school board, and the Iberville Parish School Board in Iberville. 

“It's amazing to see the Dow employees and contractors come together for this wonderful cause, Toy Drive Chairperson Tracy Burleigh said about the 2006 Dow Toy Drive. “Their generosity will help the children in our community have a Christmas to remember.”
