2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Community Engagement | 240 Toledo, Ohio, U.S. Connecting Kids to Meals An organization that provides healthy meals to children in low- income and underserved areas throughout the community, Connecting Kids to Meals served more than 875,000 meals in the last year alone. They recently completed a $40,000 remodeling of their walk-in refrigeration system, and the Owens Corning Foundation contributed approximately $14,000 to help with the costs of this upgrade. Neighborhood Industries Over the next five years, Owens Corning will donate $1 million to support a workforce development program in downtown Toledo. This commitment will help supply computers and other tools that will be used by individuals in our community to prepare for jobs in the digital economy. Home Rescue Program In March 2021, Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity and the city of Toledo announced the Home Rescue Program, a community partnership to fund critical home repairs in distressed neighborhoods. The program will be funded with $1.5 million from the Home Investment Partnerships Program. This funding was provided to Toledo by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and it will be administered by the Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity. The Owens Corning Foundation will donate construction materials as well as financial support for this initiative for the Junction neighborhood in central Toledo. In addition, the support will extend to a new Habitat housing development in Junction set to start in 2022. The repairs will address overall code violations, energy efficiency, and lead safety issues in owner-occupied homes. The program will benefit low- to moderate-income Toledo homeowners. Toledo Area Metroparks’ Glass City Riverwalk In 2021, the Owens Corning Foundation’s made a $1 million commitment in support for the completion of the Glass City Riverwalk. This new amenity, running along the banks of the Maumee River in downtown Toledo, will provide high-quality greenspace for the entire community. The new Riverwalk will link six different neighborhoods across the city, connecting them in new ways and providing greater equity, access, and experiences for all Toledo residents. Bowling Green State University In 2020, the Owens Corning Foundation directed a gift of $1 million to support underrepresented students in the School of the Built Environment within BGSU’s College of Technology, Architecture, and Applied Engineering. The gift, which is being disbursed over the next five years, will create the Owens Corning Scholars Program for students studying architecture, construction management, or other majors in the building sciences field. Nationwide, Canada Jill of All Trades In Canada, as in the U.S., there is a great and growing need for workers in the skilled trades. Currently, women in Canada make up less than 4% of that workforce, meaning there is a significant opportunity to encourage women to consider the trades as a career option. Working with Conestoga College, we have entered a two- year, $200,000 agreement to serve as the lead supporter for a program called Jill of All Trades. A successful event at Conestoga since 2014, Jill of All Trades provides hands-on experience for young women in grades 9-12 through a variety of skilled trades workshops. Our agreement will provide support to expand beyond Conestoga College and take the program across Canada. This is also a very cost-effective way for our foundation to serve as an inclusion and diversity leader in Canada while also helping to fill essential positions at Owens Corning and for our customers in the building materials industry. Mexico IBAIS School for the Hearing Impaired (Tlaxcala) Phase two of this project’s construction was completed in 2020, thanks in part to the Owens Corning Foundation’s partnership with the Mexican Red Cross. During this phase, the Foundation provided assistance that went to equipment and décor for the school. More than 25 Owens Corning employees were involved in this initiative. In 2021, Tlaxcala employee Osvaldo Rugiero won the video challenge portion of our Healthy Living “Adventures in Africa” Walking Challenge, a competition designed to encourage physical activity among our employees. On his behalf, the Owens Corning Foundation, through the Mexican Red Cross, awarded $5,000 to the school, which will put it toward acquiring and delivering storage water tanks for disadvantaged and remote households in the region. Home-School Perpetuo Socorro (Mexico City) and Social Orientation for Young Girls Association (Monterrey) For several years, the Owens Corning Foundation has supported the Home-School, which provides housing and education for young girls taken from homes affected by domestic violence. The Owens Corning Foundation continued to provide financial support to the school in 2021, funding doctors, psychologists, teachers, drivers, and basic needs such as food. In addition, employees in the area host a range of events throughout the year that benefit these schools.
