This July, Lowe's will also help Habitat celebrate its 50th anniversary at 20 pop-up events at Lowe's stores across the U.S. These community engagement events will bring together families, volunteers, customers and local community members through hands-on activities and interactive build experiences designed to raise awareness of Habitat's mission, Habitat's 50th anniversary milestone and connect Lowe's customers with the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat.

"Our partnership with Habitat is rooted in helping our neighbors remain safe, independent and enjoy the homes they love. Together, over the last twenty years, we've helped build stronger homes, neighborhoods and communities," said Lindsey Haigler, Lowe's vice president of associate and community engagement. "We are thrilled to invite communities to our stores to celebrate Habitat's 50 years of impact and help connect neighbors with Habitat's important mission."

Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity have worked together for more than 20 years to help improve access to safe and affordable housing nationwide. Since the national partnership began in 2003, Lowe's has contributed more than $100 million to help more than 20,000 families improve their living conditions. Lowe's has also been a strong supporter of Habitat's Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project and has previously provided funding for Habitat's Cost of Home campaign, neighborhood revitalization and Women Build programs. Lowe's is currently supporting Habitat's Let's Open the Door campaign to help bring awareness of global housing need.

"It's with the support of partners like Lowe's that we can further our efforts to help homeowners improve their homes, as well as build stronger, more resilient communities," said Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president of corporate partnerships and cause marketing at Habitat for Humanity International. "We are grateful to Lowe's for their ongoing support to help even more homeowners have a safe and strong place to call home."
