Lowes Supports Bay Area Habitat for Humanity

Lowes Home Improvement donated $70,000 to Bay Area Habitat toward building two homes this year! The Women Build Home (The Tiffany Gilmore Family) was dedicated July 31st 2010.

Lowes not only helped fund this special home, but also sent volunteers from the League City location to help build it!!

We have just started construction on the our Youth United home that students from Clear Lake, Clear Springs, Clear Creek, Clear Brook and Dickinson high schools will have the opportunity to build this fall. Lowes employees will also come out and join these enthusiastic students and help build this special home! Students worked all school year long and raised a portion of the amount needed to construct the Youth United Home, Lowes funded $35,000 toward this home and State Farm Insurance provided a matching grant for $4,000. The Youth United Program is a nationwide venture of Habitat for Humanity International, the mission of this project is to engage and empower a diverse group of young people while they fundraise and build an entire Habitat for Humanity home.
