This year’s selected projects span 40 states and the District of Columbia and aim to restore and revitalize neighborhood housing, parks, community centers and more. Recipients include 31 community centers, 17 shelters, 10 parks or outdoor spaces, nine safe or affordable housing accommodations and nine schools, among others.

“We’re excited to continue improving hometowns across the country by building on our longstanding commitment to serving the communities where we live and work,” says Marvin Ellison, Lowe’s chairman and CEO.

The Mooresville-based retailer wants to address urgent needs in communities while making hometowns better for all.

It will invest $500,000 into signature projects in the Charlotte market.
