TEAM RUBICON AND TEAM DOW SERVE COMMUNITIES IN NEED Team Rubicon serves communities by mobilizing military veterans to continue their service, leveraging their skills and experiences to help people prepare, respond and recover from disasters and humanitarian crises. Eight Dow employees from Team Rubicon were deployed in 2021, with participants coming from Texas, Michigan and Louisiana in the United States, and from Alberta, Canada. Team members helped Little Warriors  , a nonprofit camp near Fort Saskatchewan, supporting children who were victims of sexual assault. They also supported the Louisiana communities of Hammond, Houma and La Place following Hurricane Ida. Team Dow contributed more than 400 volunteer hours to Team Rubicon’s efforts in 2021. VetNet welcomed Dow Canada to Team Rubicon for the first time. Twelve Dow Canada employees were trained and are now ready to deploy and volunteer. AFGHANISTAN ...
