Employees visit about 800 homes during Dow’s Door-to-Door Day

Louisiana - May 02, 2005

 
More than 50 Dow employee volunteers from the St. Charles Operations facility recently spent the afternoon visiting neighbors in the Killona community and in areas of Hahnville during Dow's Door-to-Door Day. Employees distributed information packets that contained information about St. Charles Operations, as well as basic safety information. During the visits, residents also had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the facility. Here, Dow employee Elliot Madere visits with Hahnville neighbor Evelyn Oubre while explaining how chemicals and plastics that Dow produces go into a variety of household products such as the plastic bag clip that he is holding.
