Dow employees and workers of two Dow-customer companies were in Mexico recently to help Habitat for Humanity build 150 houses in one week.

The Dow Chemical Company pledged support for the Midland and Saginaw Habitat for Humanity affiliates as part of its ongoing commitment to Habitat for Humanity International. Dow is a leading supplier of insulation materials and has donated STYROFOAM* extruded polystyrene insulation products, funding for house sponsorship and volunteer work crews to support Habitat for Humanity for over two decades.

The Dow Chemical Company continues its partnership with Habitat for Humanity International, pledging support for the new Global Village & Discovery Center located on a six-acre site at Habitat headquarters in Americus, Ga. The Global Village & Discovery Center is an interactive, educational experience that illustrates the housing transformation that partner families undergo to thrive in Habitat homes worldwide. Dow has pledged $100,000, which will be used for two house sponsorships and to develop an educational module about the science behind building.
