Neighborhood Gathering – At Hemlock Semiconductor, we recognize the
concerns and values of our neighbors. Often, we invite our nearest neighbors
for dinner and tours of our facilities. This gives us the opportunity to share
information about our operations, safety and environmental initiatives, and
future development and expansion plans.
Community Connection Newsletter – The Community
Connection Newsletter is published biannually and includes a letter from
the Site Manager on current issues, safety and environmental topics, and
articles of possible interest to our neighbors and community.
Hemlock Sawdust Days – As part of our dedication to Responsible Care®
and public education, Hemlock Semiconductor is an active supporter and
participant in the local Hemlock Sawdust Days festivities, which celebrates the
area’s logging and lumber history. Hemlock Semiconductor employees offer safety
tips and advice such as the shelter-in-place disaster preparedness
techniques.

Habitat for Humanity
After meeting with a very convincing team from Habitat for Humanity, Hemlock
Semiconductor management and employees jumped in to help this worthwhile
cause.
Hemlock Semiconductor employees framed, roofed, trimmed, and landscaped
their first home in 13 days – a true “blitz build.” They went on to build a
second home equally fast. Hemlock Semiconductor management fully supported the
project by supplying the labor and equipment to make the build successful.
Supporting Hemlock Semiconductor’s efforts were volunteers from the Arnold
Center, a non-profit community rehabilitation organization, which supplied the
builders with onsite breakfast and lunch throughout the build.
