Your good neighbors at Seadrift Operations

Seadrift Operation’s very own Dr. Freeze
(Les Blanchett) has been performing chemistry
shows for students at local schools and
community venues for over 20 years.
Seadrift Operations employees, like those
in the Science Demonstration Team,
volunteer regularly as science fair judges,
tutors and mentors, while sparking student’s
interest in math and science.


Environmental Stewardship is one of the
fundamental areas of focus at Seadrift
Operations. Each year employee volunteers
join with others in the community for
activities such as Adopt-A-Beach and
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day.

Good neighbors seem to always be there when you need them and Seadrift Operations employees are no exception!

Our employees are committed to volunteering in their communities with groups such as local fire departments, youth sports organizations, churches, classrooms.... and the list goes on.

This strong belief in caring and giving to others is something that's not left at home when our employees come to work. The Dow Chemical Company and subsidiary Union Carbide Corporation have long been recognized as companies that communities can count on for charitable contributions and "rolling up one’s sleeves."

Since 2004, Seadrift Operations through the Dow Community Grants Program has provided $150,000 to support numerous smaller scale projects resulting in tangible and sustainable outcomes, within our neighboring communities.

Other key initiatives included science and chemistry presentations to local public school students by the resident Science Demonstration Team and service as judges at science fairs by members of the site’s Affinity Networks.

A few of the groups we support with sweat equity and corporate giving:

• Habitat for Humanity
• American Cancer Society (Relay for Life in Victoria and Calhoun Counties)
• YMCA youth programs
• United Way
• Household Hazardous Waste Day
