National nonprofit Rebuilding Together recently announced a two-year, $6 million donation from Lowe's to provide safe homes for veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and those affected by disaster.
As part of a multiyear effort, Rebuilding Together and Lowe's will partner to improve housing and health resources for underserved communities through a number of building initiatives, including six multi-home rebuilds in Miami, Richmond, Va., San Jose, Calif., Nashville, Tenn., Dayton, Ohio, and Upper Ringwood, N.J., Rebuilding Together said in a recent press release.
This year's partnership efforts kicked off in Phoenix, where 200 Lowe's associates repaired homes for six neighbors and revitalized the Swift Kids Branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley. The repairs included fixing leaking roofs and ceilings, grab bar installations and window replacements, as well as beautifying houses by painting and landscaping as part of Kickoff to Rebuild, a multi-home event held annually in the host city of the Super Bowl.
"We are incredibly grateful for Lowe's continued support," said Caroline Blakely, president and CEO of Rebuilding Together. "Our partnership and collaborative approach to addressing the housing concerns of our neighbors in need is making a lasting impact across the country."
