Lowe’s has announced a five-year, $100 million commitment to help develop communities across the country.

Through the Lowe’s Hometowns program, the company will provide support to complete nearly 1,800 community impact projects, including 100 signature projects chosen from consumer nominations and nearly 1,700 projects selected through Lowe’s stores across the country. This year, in partnership with Points of Light, Lowe’s will select 100 projects as part of the project and partner with community members and Lowe’s associates to revitalize spaces such as neighborhood housing, parks, and community centers.

Lowe’s also is partnering with designer, author, and Emmy-nominated host Bobby Berk, who will serve as Lowe’s Hometowns Ambassador, to execute this year’s program, and one nominated project will have the chance to be personally designed by Berk. 

“Each day, our associates and neighbors come together to help build and strengthen their communities. With this investment through Lowe’s Hometowns, we are demonstrating our commitment to make homes–and hometowns–better for those in need,” said Lowe’s chairman and CEO Marvin R. Ellison. “We look forward to working with communities across the country to make sure that our investments serve their needs and have a positive impact that lasts for years to come.”
