Drywall Finishing Council
For the 2023 DWFC Fall outreach event in Las Vegas, we paired with the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House allows parents and siblings of the children undergoing care to be local. The parents are able to visit their children in the hospital daily with all expenses covered by Ronald McDonald House.
The 2023 Fall DWFC meeting in Las Vegas was a huge success. Joint compound EPD was front and center.
DWFC’s Fall 2022 community outreach was helping US Vets.
Clean the World Foundation is a global health organization founded in 2009 and is committed to improving the quality of life for vulnerable communities around the world. They provide sustainable resources, programming, and education focused on water, sanitation, and hygiene for all those affected by poverty, homelessness, and humanitarian or natural crises.
By distributing bars of soap to over 127 countries around the world, Clean the World is able to help with hygiene education while keeping items out of the nation’s landfills.
The Drywall Finishing Council was proud to work with Clean the World again in Las Vegas.
Clean the World was founded in 2009 and currently has offices in Orlando, Las Vegas and Hong Kong.
Their mission is to collect and recycle soap and hygiene products discarded by hotels and other sectors for distribution to people in need around the world.
Members of the DWFC had the honor of sorting over 1.5 tons of used soaps, shampoo and conditioner bottles, body wash containers to aid in the relief efforts of recent hurricane victims and those in need abroad.

Controlling Silica Exposures in Construction (OSHA) is a guidance document addresses the control of employee exposures to respirable dust containing crystalline silica, which is known to cause silicosis, a serious lung disease, as well as increase the risk of lung cancer and other systemic diseases. This document provides information on the effectiveness of various engineering control approaches for several kinds of construction operations and equipment, and contains recommendations for work practices and respiratory protection, as appropriate.

DRYWALL FINISHING COUNCIL JOINS FORCES WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
TO DONATE 100 HOURS OF LABOR AND MATERIALS IN LAS VEGAS
Nearly 30 individuals and companies donated funds and expertise to help construct new ReStore
Las Vegas, NV-October 2, 2013- Nearly 30 individuals and companies, donated materials, labor and industry knowledge to Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas, following the DWFC (Drywall Finishing Council) Fall Meeting, which took place on October 1.
This project originated from DWFC members expressing a desire to positively impact Southern Nevada while visiting the city during their conference. While searching for a charity partner, the group enthusiastically chose Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas for their universally recognized mission of providing simple, decent, affordable homes to deserving low-income families in need. Fortunately, the DWFC Fall meeting coincided with Habitat’s current renovations, already underway, to build out and relocate their administrative offices and new ReStore.
